Program details
Overview
Film Studies at the University of Regina is offered as a four-year Bachelor of Arts, with an honours track also available. The program examines the history, language, and theory of film, television, music videos, graphic novels, screen-based installations, and curation, combined with production courses that introduce filmmaking techniques. Coursework spans an introduction to the art of motion pictures, the study of film genres, the development of film theory and criticism, and traditions in animation from studios such as Disney and the National Film Board through to anime. Students in the honours stream complete an additional 15 credit hours of film courses and must meet higher academic standards, including a 70 percent overall average and 75 percent in film courses. The program develops critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, and communication skills through the analysis of film history, theory, and genre. It is delivered through the University of Regina alongside its federated colleges, Campion College, First Nations University of Canada, and Luther College. The program suits students interested in the critical and historical study of moving-image media, preparing them for roles such as curator, educator, historian, and writer, or for further graduate study.

Admission Requirements: The program page for Film Studies states no program-specific admission criteria beyond the four-year Bachelor of Arts structure, linking instead to the university's general Application Guide and undergraduate calendar. The applicable general standard is the Faculty of Media, Art, and Performance's Fall 2027 early-conditional average of 65% across four high-school courses (English Language Arts, plus three further approved math, science, social science, language or fine-art courses); early conditional admission is available to Grade 12 students using Grade 11 and completed Grade 12 marks. International undergraduate applicants pay a $100 CAD application fee and, unless exempt, must show English proficiency of IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 83 (overall 4.5 on the revised scale from 21 January 2026), PTE Academic 59, CAEL 60, or Duolingo 120.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
