Laboratories (Lab)

 

MGI has nine computer laboratories which are equipped with desktop computers connected to a local area network with browser capabilities. MGI laboratories provide students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field of technology.

 

Journalism laboratory (J-Lab)

 

The Journalism laboratory is situated in the Department of Journalism. The J-Lab is set up as a newsroom, giving students who study Journalism the opportunity to experience a day in the life of a journalist. Students also use the J-Lab to produce and edit their own student newspaper, using their journalism skills to report on real-life events.

One of the aims of the SAU’s well-qualified staff is to facilitate the student’s learning experience at MGI by ensuring that he/she has access to the assistance and support they require.
