The PhD program in Cinema Studies addresses the changing role of moving-image media within global culture, combining the synthesis of history and theory with textual analysis and cultural study. Core coursework foregrounds emerging disciplinary issues in film and media history, film and media theory, film philosophy, formal analysis, and social and cultural practices. The program culminates in a research-based dissertation defended orally before a supervisory committee. Applicants submit a letter of intent, three letters of recommendation, transcripts and a writing sample as part of the admission review; standardized English-language test scores are not required or recommended for any applicant. A research supervisor is identified after admission rather than secured beforehand. The standard program runs four years full-time, with a maximum time limit of six years, and is delivered in person on the University of Toronto's St. George campus.
