Furthermore, It plays a role in determining the image of a country and enhancing its status…I want to work in the ministry of culture, sport, and tourism in the Korean government. By studying CCM in China, a country based on great diversity with colorful culture, and communicating with good friends in English and Chinese, I could learn a lot about the attributes of culture.

CTV students say…

“What I love about my major is that it is all about creating and sharing stories in many creative and entertaining ways; for instance, even the same story can be filmed by several directors, but each will be portrayed differently. At the same time, I also love films’ post-production: editing is the final touch that helps the director’s vision to become true with appealing visual and sound effects, and I would completely enjoy being part of this process.” – Ana, Panama, Class of 2025

“What is rare and exciting to me is the all-British educational background and localized teaching philosophy at UIC. It allows each CTV student to examine both domestic and international filmmaking. The students are taught by faculty from USC and NYU to explore the possibilities of shooting various subjects with industry standard. I believe this unique perspective is also applicable to other majors. This spirit of independent thinking has always reminded UIC students not to fall into one single mindset and urged us to adapt to the development of society.” – Zheng Kang, Class of 2021
