The Programme is a four-year undergraduate programme that aims at nurturing future global leaders in the various fields of communications. Designed to cultivate a global mindset with local sensitivity, this programme provides training on multicultural competencies and professional skills in journalism and different media sectors in the global context.

Built on the collaboration of two top media and communication schools in two continents, the Programme possesses a wider range of learning and research resources as well as expertise.

The Programme offers an innovative and truly international way of learning. You will establish a relationship with classmates in the U.K./Hong Kong of diverse backgrounds through virtual learning environments and social networks.

One-Year studying abroad in the U.K./Hong Kong enables you to experience very different media, cultural and social environments and develop their international networks.

Study tours, media visits, internships and various extra-curricular activities will be organised to enrich your out-of-classroom learning experience and broaden your horizons.
