Focus Of The College

The College of Communications is a combination of the arts, communication media and technology. Compared with the other communications colleges in other universities in Taiwan, our college emphasizes artistic expression in course content, and integrates other facets of society such as humanism and information.

Technology and art is directly combined in our college. Motion picture, printing, photography, broadcasting, and television programming are all art creations founded on a good command of technological tools. The establishment of the Graduate School of Applied Media Arts was the direct fruit of such an approach, as the Graduate School of Applied Media Arts became the first graduate school in Taiwan to combine art aesthetics and the production of motion pictures and television programs.

Education In The College

Students are educated in small groups in the College of Communications. We particularly emphasize interaction between teachers and students and stress the importance of maintaining a free and open study culture.

We also emphasize both theory and practice. Compared with other universities, we tend to provide students with more courses which involve practical training. By doing so, students have a chance to use some of the theory they learn in practical situations.
