Media Professional Studies

Faculty

All our students receive one-to-one supervision from a personal supervisor throughout the course. We also provide advisory groups to help students further develop their expertise and achieve their goals.

Collaboration Between Academic and Professional Faculty

The teaching and research work of the Media Professional Course benefits greatly from the synergistic collaboration between academic and professional faculty. This enables students to gain a multifaceted understanding of the media within a unique environment that combines a wealth of both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
