Certificate in Moving Image

The Certificate in Moving Image provides an interdisciplinary grounding in the study of moving image – including film, video, games, animation, and immersive environments – through coursework in topics including new media, digital storytelling, and cinema. Students complete core and elective courses from across Contemporary Arts, Interactive Arts and Technology, and Communication. 

Program requirements

A student in any faculty at SFU may declare this certificate through the Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology. Normal university grade point average requirements apply for entry into all FCAT courses.

Students must complete a minimum of 18 units, including core and elective courses in moving image at SFU. Units applied to one certificate may also be applied to major or minor programs of a bachelor’s degree under the normal regulations governing those programs, but may not be applied to another Simon Fraser University certificate or diploma.

Students who wish to complete upper division courses must make sure they have the prerequisites and should be aware that some courses may have limited enrollment.
