GCIT was established at National Chengchi University (NCCU) in 2021. It is the first international and interdisciplinary graduate program in Taiwan to train comprehensive communication skills in new media technology by incorporating faculty and resources from five of NCCU’s colleges: Communication, Informatics, Law, Liberal Arts, and Innovation.
Additionally, GCIT provides the best facilities and bilingual education, with courses in both English and Chinese. Through new media innovation and creative training from domestic and international experts in academia and industry, together with cooperation and mutual exchange with partner universities, our goal is to cultivate outstanding media talent with both local consciousness and a global vision, who can also incorporate knowledge from the fields of humanities, social sciences, and communication technology.
There are two required courses, which are “New Media, Technology and Society” and "Between Tradition and Modernity: Cases of Taiwan and Asia". Besides, GCIT offers three types of elective courses: Innovation Technology and Media Content Strategies, New Media and Governance, and Indigenous Culture, Society and Political Economy.
All GCIT students will be provided a subsidy for their 6-month internships, including at least 2 months abroad. Students can gain first-hand experience from Taiwanese and international media and technological industries, nonprofit organizations, cultural institutions, and the public and private sectors.
Through this program, NCCU hopes to equip it's students with the practical and professional skills to take on the challenges of the rapid development of global new media by reporting, producing, and integrating content using the best communication technology to date.
