| What it is | You earn a BA in Film Studies while also completing a separate diploma through Vancouver Film School. The diploma focuses on hands-on technical skills in animation, visual effects, and cinematography that complement the theory and history you study in the university degree. This suits students who want both the critical thinking and broad knowledge of a university degree alongside practical industry training in filmmaking technology. | You study how to create video games from start to finish, learning programming, visual design, animation, sound, and storytelling. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program balances technical skills with creative and business thinking, so you learn game engines, art, and how to actually launch a game. It suits people who want hands-on work making games rather than working only on backend code or studying game theory in isolation. |
