Hello Priya,

Mass communication is the study of media, journalism, public relations and often includes marketing communications as well. Visual communication is more design related. Students would need to learn how to use software such as Photoshop, various adobe programme etc.

As a mass communication student you can take visual communication as a module. Where you will learn basic Photoshop, photography, in-design and applying design to magazines etc. You will learn its basics, however a bachelor’s degree in visual communication would be more in-depth.
