Virtual Tour of a Day in a DMC Student's Life
In the diploma of Mass communication (DMC) at Republic Polytechnic, the only thing limiting you is your imagination. Every day you will be presented with a diverse problem to be solved. Go at it anyway you like, present your solutions anyway you want. It could be skits, videos, powerpoints or infographics. No answer is definite, there are infinite possibilities. Ultimately, be yourself, because in DMC we encourage originality, we create conversations.
