The department’s curriculum aims to cultivate film and television professionals with strong creative and production skills. Students must complete 128 credits to graduate. The curriculum is divided into three categories: 28 credits of general education, 58 credits of required courses, and 42 credits of electives. General education focuses on humanities and interdisciplinary thinking as the foundation for creativity. Required courses cover core professional areas such as scriptwriting, cinematography and editing, directing, post-production, and AI applications, helping students master the entire production process from pre-production to post-production. Elective courses offer diverse directions, including interdisciplinary integration, animation and visual effects, marketing strategy, and new media practices, encouraging students to plan their studies based on interests and career goals. Through a balance of theory and practice, students gain experience under professional guidance and develop the skills needed to enter the film and television industry.
The department offers five major specializations within its curriculum structure. The core includes university and departmental required courses, establishing both theoretical and practical foundations in film creation and media communication. Surrounding the core are four professional areas: Film and Performance, Film Technology, Cultural Aesthetics, and Interdisciplinary Creation. Film and Performance emphasize scriptwriting, microfilm production, and acting training; Film Technology includes cinematography, lighting, sound recording, special effects, and post-production; Cultural Aesthetics focuses on film theory, directing styles, and cultural studies; and Interdisciplinary Creation integrates food, tourism, and film marketing to strengthen industry application skills. The overall design enables students to develop creativity, aesthetics, and technical competence throughout four years of study.
The department’s four-year curriculum plan is divided into five main areas: Interdisciplinary Creation, Film Technology, Foundation Courses, Film and Performance, and Cultural Aesthetics. The first year focuses on foundational training through courses such as Film History, Introduction to Drama, and Principles of Film Production, building both theoretical and technical foundations. In the second year, students move toward professional specialization, learning Directing Practice, Film Production, Sound Recording and Mixing, and Set Design, while also exploring interdisciplinary creation and screenwriting. In the third year, students deepen their professional skills through courses such as Visual Effects, Short Film Production, Acting and Character Analysis, and Film Theory and Cultural Studies. The fourth year centers on graduation projects and exhibitions, integrating prior learning into creative outputs, with elective options in cultural and film analysis to prepare for research or industry careers.
