The International Master's Program in International Communication Studies (政治大學國際傳播英語碩士學位學程，政大國傳), also referred to as IMICS, is one of five International Master’s programs offered by National Chengchi University. IMICS was formally established in 2006. Featuring a curriculum taught entirely in English, IMICS is a pioneer in the field of Communication Studies in Taiwan.

 

The IMICS program focuses on international, cross-cultural communication studies in response to the rapid pace of globalization, placing additional emphasis on the Asia-Pacific region. Through the university’s three well-established communication departments (Journalism, Radio and Television, and Advertising), students are encouraged to explore the full context of international trends through advanced academic research. In addition to delving into the diverse curriculum offered by IMICS, Master’s students are encouraged to explore elective courses from other departments and will also be presented with opportunities to interact with other renowned international universities and global media corporations.

 

Aiming to cultivate future leaders and professionals in the field of communications and international media, IMICS is highly selective in its admissions process. Each academic year, IMICS accepts a balanced number of qualified local and international students to join the upcoming class, in order to encourage a cross-cultural interchange of ideas in the classroom. Therefore, the diverse group of Master’s students in IMICS benefits from peers by combining their different academic backgrounds, collaborating on academic research projects, and pursuing various opportunities for international academic exchange.

 

Communications students and professionals around the world are welcome to apply for the program.
