NEW DELHI : Mumbai University has launched two Master of Arts programmes in public relations and communications and journalism in online and blended learning format in partnership with upGrad. The programme will be available in both Hindi and Marathi.

The programme will have 15-hours of classes per week with both live and recorded lectures from Mumbai University faculty and industry leaders.
