Overview

In the International Communication Studies with Film and Television Studies (Hons) from The University Of Nottingham Malaysia you will also take additional compulsory or optional modules from within the school or faculty, with English language and literature students and film and television studies students having compulsory modules relevant to their specific areas of study.

A unique aspect of our degree programmes is the compulsory language component, where you will learn a new modern language – either French, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin or Spanish. You will graduate with a high level of spoken and written fluency in your chosen language, improving not only your grasp of another language and culture, but also dramatically enhancing your employability in the globally competitive job market.

You may also apply for a range of summer internships within the Malaysian and international media and communication industry throughout your degree. This internship programme is facilitated by our staff’s range of industry connections as well as staff in our schools in the UK and China. You will also have the chance to apply for mobility exchanges to the UK or China Campuses in your second and third years of study.
