Syllabus for 2013 Academic Year

The classes offered by the Media Professional Course are divided into two groups. In principle, Group A mainly includes practically-oriented classes taught by media industry professionals while Group B includes more theoretically-oriented classes taught by the Course’s academic faculty. However, it should be noted that, owing to the close and fruitful coordination between industry and academia that characterizes the Media Professional Course, there is in fact a synergistic relationship between these two groups of classes and, in practice, all students are required to take a number of classes from each group.
