Master of Arts (Global Communication)
The Chinese University of Hong Kong
School of Journalism and Communication
The School of Journalism and Communication at the Chinese University of Hong Kong launched the M.A. in Global Communication program in 2005. Being one of the first of its kind, this program focuses on international and China-specific phenomena related to globalization and communication and provides enhanced learning for those who endeavor to work in areas such as media, education, NGOs, management, and research.
In recent decades, China and the world have witnessed a boom in journalism and communication education at the postgraduate level. The long history and experience in providing communication training, together with Hong Kong's unique position of being a "cultural meeting point between East and West", places our School in a strategic position to offer a program that meets the needs of a global age.
The growing affluence and influence of China create not only great needs of Chinese students to understand the outside world but also a great interest of overseas students to understand China.
In this program, we strongly believe in the combination of theory and practice. The core courses focus more on theoretical training in globalization and communication phenomena like global media flows, transnational (forced) migration, transnational circulation of media formats and practices, or social advocacy and new technologies.
The elective courses enable students to strengthen their practical skills related to communication practices in new technologies, public relations, journalism, or social advocacy, focusing on Hong Kong and China, seeing local issues through a global lens and vice versa. Students can now also choose to specialize in the streams Global Media or Social Change and Advocacy. Students can apply their theoretical knowledge through case studies, research projects, field trips, and by living in the international and multicultural
