Programmes

CCT offers degree and diploma programmes in the study of structured communications at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels. Undergraduate degrees provide a broad background of theory and skills enabling the students to operate in a field with ever-increasing convergence. The post-graduate degrees allow for specialisation in particular fields.

Currently CCT offers academic programmes at diploma, undergraduate and post-graduate levels.

Initially credits in communications were offered as part of the Philosophy curriculum. This gave way to an area of specialisation within the Faculty of Arts. Students could graduate with a BA (General) having communications as one of the subject areas. In 1993 four BA students were admitted to University to complete a one-year honours programme in Communications. The first sixteen students to obtain a four-year BA (Honours) degree in Communications within the Faculty of Arts graduated in 1994. In 1995 the academic sponsorship of the communications curriculum was entrusted to the Faculty of Education. This made it possible to have a Communications Department for the first time at the University of Malta and paved the way for the creation of a B. Communications degree programme. The first cohort to complete a B. Communications degree graduated in 1998. In 1999, the academic and financial aspects of the Communications Programmes were vested in the CCT.
