About the Diploma
 


Want to be a reporter for Chinese newspapers, magazines and TV? Or a Chinese news presenter and radio DJ? Then the Diploma in Chinese Media & Communication (CMC) is for you.

CMC is the first and only programme in Singapore that focuses on the Chinese media. Over 70 percent of the course is taught in Chinese. You will develop creative skills such as copywriting, advertising, video production, and web design that are geared towards a Chinese-speaking audience.

Aside from media training, you will learn about Chinese literature and culture. You will also be equipped with skills in translation and interpretation.

In your final year, you will spend a full semester working on an actual industry project , or intern at a top local or overseas media company . You might work with local industry figures like MediaCorp, SPH, the Singapore Media Academy and production houses, or companies in Beijing, Shanghai, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

You will also get a chance to appreciate Chinese language and culture first-hand. All CMC students will go on an Overseas Immersion Programme and attend classes at a media university in China.

Career Prospects   

In Singapore, the most popular TV and radio stations are predominantly Chinese. The market is also growing as more local media companies establish ties with leading Chinese media conglomerates. As a bilingual media practitioner, you will be able to work in this growing Chineselanguage media industry as a print, broadcast or online journalist, producer, translator or interpreter, copywriter or advertising, PR, and marketing executive.
