About the Programme

Message from Programme Director

Strategic Communication involves “orchestrated communication efforts with a master plan to influence a public policy or to promote an agenda”. Being “strategic” is communicating proactively the right message through right channels to the right audience with the right effect. The MA in Strategic Communication is designed to provide most updated knowledge and professional training to students who want to pursue a career and excel in it in social, political and corporate communication.

Hong Kong, being an advanced modern city, will advance further with more talents devoted to communication for the good of society. This Programme is intended to train professionals who will advance humanity by communicating strategically and conscientiously for the good of society, fostering genuine dialogues with “truth”, “rightness” and “sincerity” in the Habermasian ideal of discourse. “Communicate to advance humanity” is the ultimate concern of the programme.

Professor Paul S N LEE, Programme Director, MA in Strategic Communication
