Harare Poly To Offer Mass Communication and Media Technologies Degree

Harare Polytechnic principal Dr Engineer Tafadzwa Mudondo told The Herald the college is expected to start offering a Mass Communication and Media Technologies degree soon.

Engineer Mudondo said they received authority from Zimbabwe Council for Higher Education (ZIMCHE) and they only need to employ two or three specialised lecturers for the programme to commence. Said Engineer Mudondo:

We have been working behind the scenes. In my past three graduation reports, I have been talking about mass communication. We finally got a reprieve from ZIMCHE (Zimbabwe Council for Higher Education). We now have an authority from them to run Mass Communication and Media Technologies. What is only left, which we were given as a condition, was to employ two or three specialised lecturers which I have since submitted to our head office that we need to employ these lecturers so that we can kick-start the programme. But anytime from now, the moment we get the green light to employ, then it means that the programme is going to start.

Harare Polytechnic intends to add other programmes like Irrigation Engineering.
