Established in 1998, the MA in Communication and New Media program provides advanced training on human communication theories and cutting-edge media technologies for professionals working in the following fields: mass media, advertising, public relations, marketing, corporate communication, governmental or non-profit organizational communication, web and multimedia production and communication, mobile media and other communication-related sectors. Graduates from the programme are expected to become knowledgeable, skillful and innovative in planning, designing, producing, and evaluating communication projects embedded with new media technology.


Starting from 2016 cohort, students can specialize in one of the two streams (Media Data Analytics and Digital Media) by completing the required courses prescribed by the stream. The offer of a stream is contingent on the availability of teaching staff and the minimum number of students pre-selecting the stream. In case a stream cannot be offered for an academic year, the Digital Media Stream will be the default stream.
