Program overview Program structure Admission criteria After your degree
Delve into the interlinked histories of art and film, and learn how the two fields intersect on the levels of art practice, critical approaches and institutional histories. Students benefit from courses that have been designed to lay the foundation for this joined program and are free to choose from a wide range of courses in both areas. Students can thus take advantage of the expertise and knowledge that has developed within the related fields of art history and film studies, and acquire a genuinely interdisciplinary education in the visual arts.
Up to $4000 for undergraduate programs.
A Bachelor of Fine Arts degree takes a minimum of three or four years (90 – 120 credits) of full-time study, depending on your academic background.
Professional internships Internships provide students with the opportunity to pursue work in the film industry, film research, archival work, editing film publications, or writing film criticism.
Escuela internacional de cine y television - Cuba In 2007, the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema signed an agreement with the prestigious Escuela internacional de cine y television (EICTV) in Cuba to explore opportunities for collaboration in education and research. Since then, MHSoC faculty members David Douglas, Richard Kerr, Rosanna Maule and Peter Rist have taught at EICTV and several Concordia film production and film studies students have participated in workshops there. In 2009, Professor Douglas offered a joint class with Fernando Birri, the founding director of EICTV. During the same year five EICTV students received scholarships from the Canadian government to study at MHSoC.
Other international study opportunities Concordia University offers undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to take part in an International Student Exchange Program (ISEP) that will count for credit towards their Concordia degree, while paying the same tuition fees they do at home and possibly receiving funding.
Independent studies Students may explore specific areas of film through independent study.
