Introduction of Centre for Greater China Studies (CGCS)
Centre for Greater China Studies (CGCS) aims to enhance interdisciplinary research that highlights the rise of China and its impact on the rest of the world. The CGCS has two major objectives. First, it serves as a research platform to formulate and promote Greater China studies at The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK). Its second objective is to facilitate academic exchange and cooperation between local and international scholars.
The CGCS will focus on four key areas:
- To facilitate research on the Belt and Road Initiative and the Greater Bay Area Development
- To encourage research on interactions between China and the rest of the world and accompanying problems that may occur.
- To promote digital research methods and apply related knowledge to the field of Greater China studies.
- To set up a “Greater China Network” website which would be used to engage in various types of academic activities and online publication.
Introduction of School of Communication, HSUHK
The School of Communication offers two bachelor’s degree programmes and one master’s degree programme, namely the Bachelor of Journalism and Communication (Honours), the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Convergent Media and Communication Technology and the Master of Arts in Strategic Communication to meet the growing demand for professionals in Business Journalism and Corporate Communication. The curricula of these programmes are carefully designed such that not only students are provided with classroom-based education and training in specialised communication areas but they also benefit from a lot of experiential learning through opportunities such as internships, industrial projects and sharing by experienced and visionary practising professionals. It is expected at the time when students graduate from the programmes, they will already get ready to accept challenges in the real world of work.
Coupled with a team of professional and scholarly faculty members, the School of Communication has invested heavily in state-of-the-art facilities to give students plenty of hands-on experience. These facilities include the SCOM TV Studio, the TV Lab, the Radio Broadcasting Studio, the Radio Broadcast Training Centre, the Multimedia Training Centre, the Non-linear Editing Room and the Media and Communication Lab. Our aim is to provide students with knowledge and skills and as well the abilities to be creative, to think critically, to pursue life-long learning and to develop an international outlook so that they will become competent and responsible professionals and leaders in the communication industry in future.
