Divine Institute of Media Science, Thrissur

Divine Institute of Media Science or DiMS is envisaged and executed under the leadership of the Vincentian fathers to impart value based technical education in Digital Media Science. Even though the digital revolution has resulted in vast developmental changes in the media sector, the changes were confined mainly to technology and the content part has unfortunately shown a marked deterioration in quality. DiMS aims to bridge this gap by molding media professionals capable of prophetic communication. The Curriculum at DiMS envisages to mould value based media professionals capable of mass communication aimed at the greater good of the society. These professionals will be instilled with the qualities of a researcher and a critic during the course and shall be guided by academically outstanding teachers and guaranteed hands-on training in TV channels. With a clear vision and a well-planned mission, DiMS aims to grow into the best digital media institute in India.

The essential relationship between media theory and media practice, respect for aesthetic, critical, and pragmatic dimensions of communication, recognition of the specific qualities of and relationships between various media forms, attention to the ethical imperatives of communication throughout the world, appreciation of the ways in which media theory and media practice can contribute to intercultural global understanding, acknowledgment of today's challenging marketplace conditions, openness to change and innovation, all form the basis of education at DiMS. Currently, we offer degree programmes in digital media studies under the guidance of dedicated and professionally qualified teachers from the visual media, and the working media professionals.
