The College of Mass Communication at the University of Baghdad held, on Wednesday, a media oath ceremony for its fourth-year graduating students, attended by the Dean, members of the College Council, and a number of faculty members, in a well-organised setting that reflected the institution’s standing and its commitment to honouring its students.
The ceremony saw broad participation from academic staff and graduates, as students took the media oath in a carefully prepared hall that embodied discipline and organisation, marking their transition into professional media practice.
In his address, the Dean, Professor Dr Ammar Taher Mohammed, stressed that “the media oath represents a professional and ethical commitment, not merely a symbolic tradition,” noting that the College is dedicated to preparing students to responsibly convey the truth, serve society, and effectively engage in the labour market.
Meanwhile, the Assistant Dean for Scientific Affairs, Dr Haider Ahmed Al-Qatbi, administered the oath, which was recited in unison by the students in a scene reflecting a strong sense of belonging and responsibility, in the presence of the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, who contributed to organising and overseeing the event.
This event forms part of the College’s ongoing efforts to equip its students and enhance their professional readiness in line with the demands of modern media practice.
It also aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education, through preparing qualified graduates with professional and ethical skills that contribute to serving and advancing society.
