Programme Overview:
While the preservation of cultural heritage frequently involves socio-political, economic and technical issues, there is a growing recognition that cultural heritage and its conservation is a shared responsibility amongst all levels of government, proponents and members of a community.
With the proposed development of Hong Kong as a cultural and creative hub, this postgraduate diploma would meet the demand for media and cultural professionals, with its interdisciplinary focus on sociology, cultural studies, the media and communications. The importance of prioritising the creative sector and cultural industries in Hong Kong will also enable degree holders from other academic disciplines (for example, Business and IT) to convert to this humanities based programme and to prepare for a second career in media and culture related industries.
Programme Highlights
- Interdisciplinary focus on sociology, communication, media and cultural studies;
- Analytical skills and research methodologies specifically for art, media and cultural management;
- With exemption of up to 90 credits (half of the MA programme) to MA Media and Communications Management (awarded by Middlesex University London).
