COURSE DELIVERY
The Bachelor of Screen Production course is a third-party arrangement between Sydney Film School and Excelsia University College. Excelsia staff will teach the course, which is subject to Excelsia’s policies and procedures.
The course is taught at both Sydney Film School’s Waterloo campus and Excelsia’s Macquarie Park campus, which means that students will need to travel between these campuses during the course. The travel time between these campuses is approximately one hour by public transport or 25 minutes by car.
An Excelsia Course Manager will be available at the Sydney Film School, Waterloo campus to provide support to students.
COURSE OVERVIEW
To develop excellence in the art, craft and technology of production, we believe students crucially need critical thinking skills to analyse and evaluate current industry practices and strategically explore new modes of storytelling and dissemination, whether it’s in a cinema or online. Upon graduation, students will have acquired skills in screen production, storytelling, and entrepreneurship, as well as more specialised capabilities in areas such as writing, direction, cinematography, design, sound, or post-production, that will equip them to be innovative, professional, and ethical.
Sydney Film School, in partnership with Excelsia University College, offers this unique model of training that is value-driven, industry-informed, professionally sustainable and socially directed. It will appeal to creative students who believe in and want to be nurtured and inspired to make a positive difference in the world.
This is a 144-credit-point program consisting of 24 core units of study and eight electives (3 years full-time).
The first year of the course develops competence in a range of production skills, complemented by progressively more challenging and diverse production projects.
This is supported by reflections on how they want to impact society as professional creatives.
The second year enables students to select and specialise in one production discipline. It also deepens their awareness of how technology and social values have evolved and been shaped by changes in various forms of screen communication. Students also learn practical skills for designing a creative career after graduation.
