Master of Mass Communication
Nanyang Technological University
Course Overview
Nanyang Technological University is consistently ranked among the world's top universities, and its Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information is one of Asia's leading communication schools. The Master of Mass Communication is a one-year, English-taught programme covering strategic communication, digital and social media, communication research, public relations and advertising, media management, and communication theory — taught by internationally published faculty. NTU's modern Jurong campus, strong industry links, and Singapore's role as the regional media and tech hub make it a powerful credential for a communications-leadership career.
Sri Lankan graduates with a Bachelor's in Communication, Media, Marketing, Journalism, English, or a related field fit the cohort, and an English-medium Sri Lankan degree can waive the IELTS requirement via an MOI letter. As a globally top-ranked university in a safe, English-speaking city four-and-a-half hours from Colombo, NTU offers a premium master's at well below US/UK total cost. Singapore allows graduates to apply for work passes tied to employment, and NTU's brand opens doors across regional media, tech, and consultancy.
