We are accepting the applications for the next academic session starting from 1st Aug 2024 at AMITY UNIVERSITY Noida Campus.
In specialization modules, students develop professional skills in their chosen field of specialization through lectures, practical sessions and workshops conducted by in-house faculty, visiting faculty and industry professionals. Students showcase their conceptual and technical skills in their respective fields of specialization, by teaming up with students of other specialization and working as members of a creative team. As per NEP ,various electives are offered by the departments providing students an opportunity to experiment with areas of filmmaking other than their chosen Specializations. While each department is responsible for running the course of their own specialization, students also work together to impart an integrated and multidimensional learning experience. Our Courses undergo constant revision every semester to stay at the forefront of the emerging styles and techniques. This evolution has made ASFD a richer, more diverse and vibrant place to learn.
