FAC Launches Four New Courses, Sets National First

On 17 September 2025, the Faculty of Applied Communication (FAC) has made history with the official launch of four new courses during The Big Reveal event at the Cyberjaya campus, a milestone that positions MMU at the forefront of communication education in Malaysia.

With this bold move, MMU proudly becomes the first university in Malaysia and among government-linked universities, to introduce Mobile Journalism, Sustainability Communication and Financial Communication into both its Diploma and Bachelor’s Degree programmes, alongside a fully upgraded Brand Communication course.

This landmark achievement cements FAC’s reputation as a trailblazer in reimagining communication education for the future. The new courses are designed to bridge academia with industry by equipping students with cutting-edge skills: credible mobile content management, authentic brand and sustainability storytelling and the ability to translate financial data into meaningful narratives.

Dean of FAC, Dr. Mokhtaruddin Ahmad, hailed the launch as a historic step for MMU, describing it as a turning point. He emphasised that by pioneering these courses, FAC is shaping the next generation of communicators to be not only industry-ready but also industry-leading, positioning the faculty at the forefront for others to follow. The launch event featured the dramatic unveiling of the courses, a vibrant Q&A session with faculty and students and a celebratory finale, marking a proud chapter in MMU’s journey as Malaysia’s Talentbank 6-Star Rating Communication and Broadcasting faculty.

Truly, a historic moment for MMU.
