With the Support of Centre for Film and Creative Industries, we are delighted to announce that the Department of Visual Studies and the Department of Philosophy have recently launched a new programme—Master of Arts in Creative and Media Industries (MACMI). It will be commenced in September 2021.

The MACMI programme is one of the few taught postgraduate programmes in Asia that provides both basic and advanced courses on creative and media industries. It combines established studies on cultural and creative industries. In response to the needs of Hong Kong society and economy, it aims to provide an interdisciplinary understanding for students to explore the dynamics and processes of creative and media industries and foster development of the emergent field of creative and media industries studies, new to Hong Kong and the region. Aside from required and elective courses, students can complete a research dissertation as capstone experience, they will engage in independent research and interrogate relevant scholarly perspectives on the object of their study.

The programme is ideal for those who wish to pursue advanced study in creative and media industries and professional careers in digital media, trade fairs and event, performing art, film and other media-related industries. Through studying creative and media theories, globalization and digital technology, entrepreneurial initiatives and professional training, MACMI offers students multiple perspectives and necessary skills to explore and engage in the development of creative and cultural mediascapes in Hong Kong, Asia and beyond.

Full programme details are available online at https://www.ln.edu.hk/visual/macmi/en/. Those who are interested in applying for the MACMI programme are encouraged to submit online application by 31 July 2021.
