At the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, we offer a four-year Bachelor of Communication Studies programme for undergraduates interested in majoring in Strategic Communication, Broadcast Media & Cinema Studies, Data Science and Media Studies and/or in Journalism and Media Policies.
Students have the flexibility to specialise in one or more tracks or decide to develop themselves as broad-based communication graduates. With the most comprehensive curriculum, you will graduate with a strong balance of practical and conceptual skills, ready for the challenge of work and life.
Only available for application at point of admission, you will get the chance to experience the full Wee Kim Wee School experience and while pursuing your interest in Business. Graduates from this programme have a strong balance of practical and conceptual skills, well-prepared for the real-world experience.
Most media isn’t made in classrooms, so WKWSCI’s learning isn’t either. WKWSCI offers experiential learning opportunities for our students to apply what they’ve learnt in an industry-setting, or in overseas experiences. Click here to find out more.
