From 1 April 2016, the eight members of MJSP faculty switch their institutional affiliation from the International Student Center (from 1 March 2016 renamed the Center for the Advancement of Global Education) to the Research Faculty of Media and Communication. For students, this makes no visible difference to the day-to-day running of MJSP. Its main significance is that it increases the level of institutional support for MJSP faculty members in their research activities. As such, it is an important stage in the on-going process of realising our vision for MJSP: we are a bachelor’s degree program at a research-intensive university, where teaching is built upon the foundations of internationally-respected research by faculty members.
