UP Department of Communication Research

PhD Concept Presentations

Six PhD Communication students presented their respective dissertation concepts before the PhD faculty members of our Department to ensure the centrality of communication and media in their proposed topics.

CRes 101 Fieldwork

CRes 101 (Introduction to Communication Research) students were recently on fieldwork mode, knocking on houses for their face-to-face surveys, coding messages for their content and textual analysis studies, and conducting interviews for their reception analysis projects.

CRes 155

The Communication Research 155 (Research Dissemination) students of Dr Randy Jay C. Solis shared some of the findings on family planning, contraceptives, and HIV from the 2021 Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Study (YAFS5) with residents of Barangay UP Campus last April 14. Seven CRes 155 groups participated in the event, which is also among the department’s public service initiatives.
