Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Cultural Studies

Programme Objectives

1. To enhance students’ creativity and their potential to take on new managerial and
       cultural challenges upon graduation by enabling them to expand their conceptual
       framework and develop a world-view of interdisciplinarity.

2. To equip graduates to respond positively and creatively to new and substantially different
       points of view.

3. To prepare students for the pursuit of further studies. The M.A. Programme provides firm
       grounding for those who wish to advance to M.Phil. or Ph.D. programmes both overseas
       and locally which emphasize an interdisciplinary approach. It should be noted that there
       are an increasing number of academic programmes of this kind in fields such as cultural
       management, education and creative media all over the world.
