Programme Description
Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Film and Television programme provides comprehensive training in film and television, with attention to relevant areas of theory, history, and practice.
Unique Features
To equip students with the knowledge and vocational skill required in the creative industries, such as film, television, commercial and other sectors in audio-visual production and to provide theoretical training in cinematic arts.
Transdisciplinary Second Majors / Second Majors
The University envisions the importance of transdisciplinary innovations in response to the global challenges and offers a flexible curriculum structure that is much more agile and fits the present and yet-to-known future needs. Students will have the opportunity to opt for a transdisciplinary second major (TSM) / second major (SM) on top of their major. TSMs are geared for particular talent needs in Hong Kong and prepare students to pool knowledge from different disciplines to excel in multiple career, whereas SMs prepare students to gain in-depth knowledge from another discipline to complement the first major. This approach equips students not only for their careers, but also the future development of their respective fields. Nine TSMs / SMs will be launched in the 2025/26 academic year (subject to the approval of the University Senate).
