How will a degree from Yorks Film Department prepare me for a job?
Our BFA/Filmmaking graduates are known and respected throughout the Canadian industry for their technical and creative proficiency. As active filmmakers, the faculty are involved in the industry, allowing us to bring that experience and understanding into the classroom. The size of the department, its extensive facilities, its broad curriculum, the scale of student productions, perhaps most of all the extraordinary talent and dedication of our student body, all combine to create an accelerated learning experience like no other. Our Department is actively involved in the Canadian film & television industries. Professionals from all sectors of the industry regularly visit our students. Upper level students may participate in a summer co-op program that gives them on-the-job experience.A University is very different from a training program. There are many training programs available at Community Colleges and private centres for students who want only technical instruction. York faculty me
