B.Sc. in Film and Multimedia Studies
The undergraduate programme in Film and Multimedia is aimed at developing creative, competent, responsible, and ethically minded film and multimedia professionals, who will be conscious of their unique cultural role as regards the creation of content and who will strive to contribute to societal progress by transmitting the most positive and enduring values through their work. The programme, therefore, will uphold and impart to the students the intellectual, ethical and professional values that promote creativity, responsibility, respect for the common good, and best practice. The overall intention is to nurture individuals who are creative, professionally competent, enterprising, and zealous for the common good with the ability to make free and morally upright decisions, and who can thus impart positive values in service to society.
The programme will provide intensive practical and theoretical courses that encompass all key aspects of film and multimedia production. It will emphasize particularly the need for high ethical standards in the exercise of professional work and obligations. Hence, the curriculum will be suffused with courses that deal with human values, analytical and critical thinking, and the appropriate use of communication media.
