Toronto Film School understands that aspiring video game designers and developers are looking for educational opportunities that are both skills-oriented and industry-based. That’s why their Video Game Design & Development diploma program explores the entire game creation process, with assignments based on real-world challenges.

Here’s what you can expect: A comprehensive, 18-month on-campus program, small class sizes and instruction from experienced video game creators. This is a choice program for those wishing to work for a major gaming studio. You will graduate with the knowledge you need to fill any number of creative roles, including: Game Designer, Game Play Programmer, Game Developer, Audio Programmer, QA Software Developer, Quality-Assurance Tester and Game Designer.

Bachelor of Creative Arts degree pathway

A creative diploma from Toronto Film School qualifies you for entry into Yorkville University’s Bachelor of Creative Arts (BCA) degree program, which can be completed in as few as 15 months. The BCA is designed to round out your education by teaching you the practical business and leadership skills you need for a successful career in the creative arts. With this degree, you will then be eligible to apply to Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP), where you can obtain a work permit valid for up to 3 years.

Toronto Film School was an incredible experience for me as I learned not only how to become an actor but a writer and filmmaker as well. In the acting program learning how to be able to produce your own work is really important so that you can be constantly working and improving your craft instead of just waiting for the phone to ring. Thanks to Toronto Film School I was able to create a project that will be playing at the TIFF Bell Lightbox!

Toronto Film School has been my home for over a year. Since my arrival, I grew as both a person and a filmmaker.

To fellow aspiring filmmakers who would complain about their experience, I would say this: like in any area in life, success is not handed to you, you must work for it, but all the tools to achieve it are at your disposal. TFS is what you make it.

I am proud to have made it a place I will be from and I recommend it to anyone who wants to begin their journey in the world of filmmaking!
