The Journalism programme at Xiamen University (XMU) was first introduced in 1922. XMU was one of the three comprehensive universities in China that offered the international journalism programme in 1984. Since then, we have been devoted to producing graduates who possess professional skills and a global outlook. The programme has consistently produced hundreds of successful graduates who are gainfully employed in China’s mainstream media giants such as China Daily, People’s Daily, Xinhua News Agency, CCTV, China Radio International, and Guangming Daily. We have close cooperation with many leading universities such as the University of West Sydney, Cardiff University, and the University of Missouri. We also co-designed a joint programme with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

This Journalism programme at Xiamen University Malaysia is dedicated to equipping aspiring journalists and media practitioners with a broad knowledge of media’s role in society and the challenges of international and cross-cultural communication, in addition to specific professional skills in journalistic reporting and storytelling, communication, broadcast presentation, and production techniques in various segments of the media. In addition, the programme attempts to endow students with professional ethics, critical thinking skills, a sense of social responsibility, and positive attitudes towards independent and life-long learning.
