About CMP
Life is full of hard choices, such as picking one of the three exciting courses by Singapore’s original media school. If you want to explore different disciplines before deciding, then the Common Media Programme (CMP) is totally for you.
Dive into your first semester with transmedia storytelling and ‘taster’ modules that introduce you to our three courses. You will learn diverse content creation skills for multiple platforms and harness the power of generative AI to engage audiences. Discover your unique strengths and career aspirations through the specially curated Diploma Exposure Programme, M:idea Fest conference, and Career & Preparation module.
All our media diplomas are designed to give you hands-on, industry-relevant experience through internships and real-world projects. These opportunities will help you build skills needed to become a multi-hyphenate media professional, ready to take on exciting roles across the industry!
What’s more, there are no exams in this course. Instead, you’ll work on projects that help you develop a portfolio to showcase your skills. By the end of your first semester, you will have gained deeper insights into each area, allowing you to rank and choose from our three diplomas: Mass Communication, Film, Sound & Video, or Media Post-Production.
Personally, the CMP program was actually helpful and insightful for me, because I came in with the idea that I would be most interested in MCM, but I ended up loving FSV after I learnt more about all the courses and discovered my strengths.
CMP has broadened my perspective on the different aspects of the media industry. I’ve equipped myself with skills from the taster modules connected to the three specialised diplomas. If you are unsure of what to specialise in, CMP is for you! Do keep an open mind and explore your interests!
CMP is a great course for students to learn different aspects of media through the different taster modules. From Video Production all the way to Integrated Marketing Communications, going through the different modules helped me understand more about the courses offered and which one suited me the most.
