Nagad, BUP jointly introduce content creation course

Social media content creation is increasingly popular nowadays. Many people desire to excel in content creation but often fail to do so due to a lack of proper knowledge.
To address this, Nagad Ltd., a popular MFS service provider, and the Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) have joined hands to introduce a content creation course, says a press release.
To this end, Nagad and BUP recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the BUP campus. Chairperson of BUP's Department of Mass Communication and Journalism Lt. Colonel Masudur Rahman Khan, and Nagad's Executive Vice-President Muhammad Solaiman, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective sides.
Monsurul Aziz, head of Marketing Strategy and Planning at Nagad, Senior Manager Ariful Alam, and Assistant Manager Tanha Wahid Adrita along with other senior officials from both organisations were present on the occasion.
Following this partnership, BUP's journalism department will launch a content creation course starting this month. Interested students must fill out the necessary forms on the institution's website, pay a fee of BDT 510, and apply for the course. On completion of the institutional procedures, students will be enrolled. The admission fee can be instantly paid through Nagad.
Students successfully enrolled in this course will have the opportunity to receive scholarships. Nagad will also offer for the first time an internship opportunity called 'Creatorship' for the top students from the course.
The course will be conducted by faculty members from BUP's Department of Mass Communication and Journalism and various skilled professionals. Students can apply for this course until July 30.
Nagad's Executive Vice-President Muhammad Solaiman said, "From the outset, Nagad has been working on innovative ideas relating to technologies. Therefore, in collaboration with BUP, we are jointly launching this course for those who are keen to learn about content creation. We hope that students will benefit from this and be able to create quality content."
Lt. Colonel Masudur Rahman Khan, chairperson of BUP's Department of Mass Communication and Journalism, said, "For the first time in the country, BUP and Nagad are bringing such a course on content creation. Using the state-of-the-art media lab, students will learn quality content creation from the country's top professionals and experienced individuals every Friday and Saturday."
