Communication Degrees Online

Hong Kong is rapidly changing to a knowledge-based economy and telecommunications is playing a key role in this development. Because of the rapid introduction of new technologies in telecommunications, there is a need for telecommunication practitioners, technologists, and managers to upgrade themselves. This program is designed to equip participating students with an in-depth and up-to-date technical knowledge based on the latest topics in wireless systems, optical networking, broadband multimedia communications, and convergence protocols.

Program Objectives
The MSc program in Telecommunications is a degree program designed for people with a Bachelor degree in science or engineering who are interested to acquire further in-depth knowledge in the field of telecommunication. The curriculum meets the HKUST requirements for granting the Master of Science degree.

Training
The intention of the Masters programme is to aply prior knowledge in a broader scientific context.

In all the modules, the knowledge is imparted through a balanced blend of lectures, seminars, and internships for real-life experiences. Thus students are encouraged to acquire the knowledge not only by conventional learning methods but also by individual activities supported by computerised work-stations and in group work. Likewise, the training is linked with selected research and development projects run at the University.

First, the training includes a wide variety of subject-matter and methodological knowledge. Then graduates have the opportunity to specialise in certain fields.

Advanced higher-level traning inludes a more specialized curriculum. In collaboration with numerous assistant professors and the University‘s research partners from abroad individual support and advice can almost always be provided.

We believe there is intrinsic value for all students in examining the role of media and communications processes in our society today. They permeate our lives in both overt and subtle ways and their serious study is appropriate within a liberal arts context. In addition we believe preparing students to participate in these media related fields is also a significant and worthwhile endeavor. Studies in communication arts provide skills basic for careers in the mass media and in corporate communications, along with valuable insights into the social, political, economic and cultural roles of communication institutions in modern society. Through the classes, internships and other on or off campus media work, students learn and apply professional skills and can document their aptitudes for media careers.

In 2002 we altered and updated our curriculum to reflect changes in both industry and educational trends. Instead of the four concentrations we have had for many years, we now have three: Integrated Communications (CAIC), Electronic Media (CAEM) and Journalism (CAJR).

A career as a Speech-Language Pathologist is demanding – and the entry-level degree for licensure and practice is the Master’s.

But the curriculum for the Master in Health Science in Communication Disorders (MHS) is demanding in itself – and students who enter a Master’s program need a comprehensive foundation to succeed.

The Bachelor of Health Science in Communication Disorders (BHS) builds that foundation. We take you from the very basics, from Phonetics to Language Development, and we build on your knowledge to bring you to more advanced concepts.

The range of subject matter is far-reaching because Speech-Language Pathologists must draw upon a wide knowledge base to understand their clients and help them improve. The BHS curriculum will prepare you to deal with issues of grammar, as well as psychology. You’ll learn anatomy, physiology, and neurosciences. And you’ll discover the foundations of education.

The BHS will give you everything you need to advance into a Master’s program and successfully complete your path to a career as a Speech-Language Pathologist.
