Diploma in Chinese Media & Communication
The Diploma in Chinese Media & Communication (CMC) is the first media studies programme in Chinese to be offered at the polytechnic level. Career opportunities are plentiful, given the wide readership of Chinese newspapers and huge popularity of Chinese TV and radio programmes in Singapore.
Leveraging on Ngee Ann’s strong partnerships with Singapore Press Holdings (SPH), Singapore Media Academy (SMA), MediaCorp and other media companies, students will enjoy offsite learning opportunities as well as work on special projects through such industry collaborations.
Seventy per cent of the course will be conducted in Chinese . Besides learning the ropes of writing for the Chinese media, students will be trained in video production, radio production, web design and copywriting. They will also acquire a good understanding of Chinese culture and literature.
Final-year students will work on an industry project or intern at a top overseas or local media company for one semester. They will also spend another semester overseas in China to be immersed in Chinese language and culture, as well as attend classes at a top Chinese university such as Fudan University in Shanghai and Communication University of China in Beijing.
Graduates will be in demand as print, broadcast and online journalists, producers, translators, interpreters and copywriters. They will also do well in advertising and public relations.
First intake: 50 students
Offered by: School of Humanities (ngee ann poly)

Do you have an 'OH MY GOSH' feeling? At least for me?
Thanks hs for the info. I didn't had much feeling in e morning, until i'm back at home n read about the course details.. Then i was STUNNED for a few sec and next was 'AHHHHH OH MY GOSH!!!! WHY AM I BORN IN 1988???'

Juz then my mom came in with my clothes..
Then i asked her: '妈妈，你知道吗，今年poly出新的科目。华文的传媒'
妈：then? 怎样? 你有兴趣meh? 传媒啊？不要啦。
我: 我一直以来的梦想。。。
妈：你要读啊？then 读 lor, accounts 不要做 lor.
It's becoz she haven know it's equal to repeating 3 yrs of full time poly. She 好不容易 供我读完3年的poly, 不可能会再供我读full time.
What's next? The moment she closes the door 就痛哭了.
我好像还没有烦完工作的事，就要再想要不要放弃每个月辛苦工作存钱一共花了$2000+的ACCA, 浪费这些对我来说很庞大的钱去重读 poly????
而且我哪里来的钱去读3年full time?
那我的PR就要变回foreigner student pass了吗?
