Broadcasting – Television and Film Production

In Fanshawe’s two-year, hands-on Broadcasting – Television and Film Production diploma program, students will work behind the camera producing a variety of films and shows, including narratives, documentaries, live sports, news, commercials and promotions. Write, produce, shoot and edit video content that will be aired throughout the region or shown at film festivals. Along the way, students are mentored and guided by industry professionals, applying their skills in field placements in the industry.

Graduates will have a portfolio that will include experience in all areas of creative and technical video content creation, including studio production, cinematic production, field production, mobile sports production, computer graphics, post-production editing, scriptwriting and sales, marketing and entrepreneurship.

For students interested in studying further, Western University and Fanshawe College have developed an articulation agreement, which gives you the opportunity to obtain an honours degree in Bachelor of Arts with a major in Media, Information and Technoculture (MIT), as well as a diploma in Broadcasting – Television and Film Production. Students may start at Fanshawe, transferring into the third year of the MIT program, and complete both credentials in only four years.
