About the Diploma
Always fancy yourself as a reporter for Chinese newspapers, magazines and TV? Or perhaps a Chinese news presenter or radio deejay? If your answer is yes, then pursue your dreams with the Diploma in Chinese Media & Communication (CMC).
Designed for students seeking a career in the growing Chinese-language print, broadcast and interactive media industries, CMC is the only programme in Singapore that gives you training in both Chinese and English. You will learn creative skills in copywriting, advertising, video production, and web design that are geared towards a Mandarin-speaking audience.
Over 60 percent of the course is taught in Chinese. Besides media training, you will also build a strong foundation in Chinese language via modules in Chinese history, culture, and translation.
You will get to take your learning off-campus in your second year, exploring more about broadcast journalism at Singapore Media Academy's fully equipped TV studio.
In your final year, you will spend a semester working on an industry project or interning at a top local media companies such as MediaCorp, Singapore Press Holdings, Threesixzero Productions, Cutting Edge Productions and August Pictures.
All final-year students will also participate in an overseas study programme in Beijing, Hong Kong or Taiwan to broaden their understanding of the Chinese-language media.
"Radio is my first love and will always be my passion. I am glad I have embarked on a new journey to share my experiences with the students."
