Students in York University’s Cinema & Media Arts – Media Arts (BFA) program will immerse themself in the future of media creation. This innovative program blends hands-on practice with critical studies, covering interactive, immersive and mobile media arts. Students work with cutting-edge technology to create new storyworlds, developing skills in everything from VFX to sound design. With small classes and expert mentorship, this program empowers learners to push the boundaries of storytelling and redefine media.
The Media Arts BFA is built around a series of Media Practice studio courses taken concurrently with courses in writing, media history, theory, and criticism, as well as innovative one-credit “technology knowledge (tech-know)” courses in software that provide flexibility for students to develop their own interests in a very wide and expansive media arts field. The program culminates in a capstone project and field placement in the media industries, preparing graduates for success in today’s rapidly evolving media landscape.
