The Curriculum Integration Programme was established to facilitate faculty and students from various year levels and study concentrations to work together and learn from each other. It has two primary objectives. First, it utilizes active learning approaches to enhance the educational experience of students. Second, it encourages students to look inward — to reflect on their own personalities, aspirations and identities. The Department believes that students must be comfortable and confident with themselves before they can positively contribute to others. Every semester, the MSJ Department launches an exhibit to facilitate curriculum integration. Each exhibit is based on a philosophical/sociological concept and/or theory, which is used to guide and harmonize student outputs as well as ground them in communication-related perspectives. The exhibit brings together the works of students, which includes research paper presentations, communication campaign materials, visual art, digital art, photography and film exhibitions.
