Program details

Overview

This 90-credit undergraduate program leads to a Bachelor's degree in Film Studies, offered in French at the Montreal campus on a full-time-only basis. The curriculum trains students in filmmaking through practical, project-based work in documentary, fiction, and experimental film across three years of study. In the second year, students specialize in one of six thematic axes, and in the third year they produce a thesis film that showcases their personal creative approach. Admission is offered for the fall term only, and applicants must submit a film production demonstrating personal or academic work alongside their academic record. Graduates pursue careers as film directors, producers, editors, and other creative roles within the film and audiovisual production industry. The program combines classroom instruction with hands-on production work using the university's film equipment and facilities throughout the degree.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: All applicants must demonstrate French proficiency through the Uniform French Test required for the DEC or UQAM's own written French test. Admission is possible on one of three bases: holding a DEC or its equivalent; being at least 21 years old with appropriate knowledge and at least two years of work experience in audiovisual production; or having completed five university-level courses (15 credits) at the time of application. All applicants must submit a film production demonstrating personal or academic work; selection weighs the submitted production at 60% and collegial academic record (cote de rendement) at 40%.
