The Doctoral Program in Communication Studies is committed to cultivating expert scholars who view communication research as their lifelong academic pursuit. The program seeks to both preserve and expand knowledge, values, and cultural advancements while nurturing socially engaged intellectuals who make meaningful contributions through practical application.
As Taiwan’s most established institution in communication studies, the College of Communication enjoys a strong reputation across East Asia. With extensive teaching and research resources, the College excels in pioneering fields such as communication theory, research methodology, and information design. Our academic approach emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering institutional innovation, large-scale research initiatives, and curriculum reform. The program has evolved from a traditional mass media-centered curriculum to one that integrates communication and information studies.
Recent research has focused on media narratives, persuasive strategies, and new media design. To prepare students for the challenges of globalization and a rapidly evolving communication landscape, the program goes beyond academic training. Doctoral candidates are required to participate in international conferences, publish in foreign-language journals, and complete at least two semesters of practical experience—through internships or industry-academic collaborations. These experiences enhance students' global perspectives and practical expertise, strengthening their international competitiveness and career prospects.
傳播學院博士班旨在培養一群以傳播學術工作為終身志業的專家學者，一方面在傳承和拓展知識文明和價值，另一方面則透過社會實踐，成為社會的中堅知識份子。本院為臺灣歷史最悠久的傳播學府，在東亞地區素負盛名，教研資源豐沛，在傳播理論、研究方法、以及資訊設計等前瞻領域均有傑出表現，研究教學強調跨域合作，積極推動組織重整與再造、發展大型研究計畫，並進行課程改革，將傳統以大眾傳播媒體為本的課程設計，轉向傳播與資訊範疇。近年來研究重點強調媒體敘事、勸服策略、新媒體設計。並因應全球化以及快速變化的傳播環境，除要求學術論述能力外，亦要求博士生須參與國際研討會、發表外語期刊論文以及兩學期以上校內外實務（實習或產學合作）經驗，藉此提升博士生國際視野與相關實務能力以增進其國際競爭力和就業競爭力。
