DEPARTMENTS
DEPARTMENT oF Visual Media and Communication

The Department of Visual Media and Communication at Amrita School of Arts and Sciences, Kochi has pioneered a uniquely incorporated combination of innovative media theories and practical works, designed to foster the critical understanding and creative use of the audio-visual media.

Department has excellent infrastructure with recording studio, post-production facilities, lighting systems, modern video and still cameras, high end multimedia work stations, more than 500 film classics, books, digital library archive and faculty with professional experience.
