The Master of Fine Arts in Film, Television and Digital Media is a three-year, full-time programme, leading to a terminal degree. It is the first of its kind in Hong Kong and mainland China. Our programme and faculty are entirely based upon requirements stipulated by the American University Film and Video Association. The programme emphasizes professional employment in the media industry and/or teaching posts at universities.

The programme aims at enriching media workers or university graduates to systematically acquire broad experiences in film, TV and the digital media, and to independently create high quality works of particular media forms. Also, we will provide opportunities for the specialized technicians trained at other institutions, therefore contributing in an integral manner to foster complementary education among our tertiary institutions.

We offer advanced training to our students through a combination of production and non-production programmes, in the professional, conceptual and aesthetic aspects of film, television, and digital media. Students will gain valuable creative experience with systematic in-class activities, which are grounded on the knowledge structure of audio-visual production. Students will produce traditional and innovative works and develop their conceptual, aesthetic and technical abilities in various media channels.

Our MFA students will be creative artists or producers of moving image. They will be able to move the industry forward, especially in the age of digital production, and enable it to compete globally.

Study Framework

Students will receive a broad training (film, TV, and digital media) in the first year, and have a wide range of elective courses in the second year, enabling them to pick up a media form (Script Writing, Film/TV Production; or Digital Media Production) to complete their thesis project in the final year.
