Mass media plays a vital role in fostering globalisation, cultural exchange, and diverse information and image flows across countries through various platforms such as news broadcasting, television programmes, new media technologies, social media engagements, film, radio, and music.
The emerging field of mass communication and journalism offers an exhilarating career opportunity for the youth who aspire to serve the community by delivering relevant information, education, and entertainment that empower them.
At our school, we offer a broad spectrum of programmes that enable our students to acquire the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to excel in various domains of journalism and mass communication careers. Our curriculum is rigorous, relevant, and engaging, and our faculty members are experts in their fields, with years of experience in academia and industry. Our students have access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources, including AV studios, audio studios, multimedia labs, and equipment, which allow them to unleash their creativity and hone their skills.
We believe that learning goes beyond the classroom and that the best way to prepare our students for success is to provide them with hands-on experience and real-world connections.
