Class Details

To complete the programme, students are required to achieve 80% attendance of the programme and pass all the assignment. A Certificate for Module (Media Regulation and Management) will be awarded within the HKU system through HKU SPACE to those who have successfully completed the programme. 

Teaching Mode

Lectures (24 hours):

As a critique-based programme, a lecture-preview reading assignment is given for each lecture. It consists of a small portion of the reading that will serve as a quick yet crucial introduction to the lecture. Students are required to do the reading before the lecture.

Site visits/Seminars (12 hours):

In seminars, students will be asked to form small groups to discuss, critically examine and present an assigned topic, as well as working on an extended research project. Before each seminar, students are required to finish assigned readings (usually two book chapters and/or a journal article) and to do extensive individual research after class. The seminars allow students to engage in peer discussions, to develop critical and analytical skills. Students will explore a variety of skills in analysing images and media texts.
