Xiamen University is the pioneer of education for the field of advertising in China, since starting in 1983. Our programme at Xiamen University Malaysia provides a comprehensive exploration of advertising, public relations, integrated marketing communications, branding, digital marketing, strategic communications, event management and other practical courses. Courses allow students to acquire and practice skills in simulated situations and, when applicable, with professional clients. Students will learn to combine critical and strategic thinking with research and creativity to deliver effective messages to a targeted audience on behalf of a client. Every student can specialize in either the creative or the account management side of the business, after they develop a foundation in both areas.
Our skills curriculum begins with broad training across the professional practice areas of mass communication and in widely applicable skills such as data analysis and visualization. We believe our programme offers an unequaled blend of skills training, theoretical learning and real-world practice. As a result, our graduates leave as able practitioners, critical thinkers, problem solvers and innovators.
