The Master of Arts in the field of Creative Communications programme is offered full-time over one year. This unique academic programme opens the often mysterious door of creativity as nothing less now than a necessity for emerging leadership, professional promotion, and creative collaborations across every disciplinary and multilingual background. Top CEOs and industry leaders already recognize the key of creativity, demanding dedicated time and attention, to ongoing success stories, both of insight and staying power.

With an emphasis on language and discourse, and rooted in prestigious research and practice at HKU and the School of English, the MACC welcomes all emerging professionals to expand their global footprint and creative impact. The MACC opens out creative foundations and futures of professional leadership, whether in an individual project, for example, such as a film or memoir; or in a professional context, such as app development or architecture. Participants in the programme will, first explore, discover and expand their creative adaptability and competitive muscle in the history, art and practice of creativity: life-changing and transformative, for expanding audience, clients, and professional impact. Unique courses in the programme feature macro and micro vision and creativity, experimental studio courses in creative collaboration, and a capstone project in creativity and happiness, developing each emerging and creative leader's own vision and lifelong path.
