Specialize in the area of film and TV that matches your career goals
In the first two years of this program, you'll get a taste of everything the industry has to offer. You'll choose from electives in directing, producing, writing and editing to find your talents and passion. Then, in your final semesters, you'll specialize in writing, camera and lighting, directing, editing, sound, producing media and cinema studies, digital production design, or visual effects.
Create your own short film or television production
Towards the end of the program, you'll work with a team to achieve a portfolio film. In this exciting capstone project, you'll partner with peers in different specializations to pitch, seek funding, write and produce a short film or television production. By following the same process as filmmakers in the industry, you'll be well-prepared for your career.
Learn from instructors with film and TV industry experience
All faculty in the Honours Bachelor of Film and Television program come to our classroom with recent and relevant industry experience. You'll learn from production designers, directors, producers, writers and more — our faculty have what it takes to help you succeed in any film and television stream you see yourself in.
Get ready to hit the ground running
Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Film and Television program is the ideal combination of hands-on, real-world experience backed by theoretical learning in all aspects of the industry. When you graduate, you'll know how to use the technology, write the scripts and produce media content while understanding how it's funded and applied to multiple platforms.
Get the practical, hands-on experience you need to succeed
- Learn how to use the latest equipment and software including ARRI camera and lights and Avid Media Composer.
- Apply what you learn in the classroom to a 14-week work placement (between Semesters 6 and 7)
- Create a portfolio project with a team of peers.
- Have the opportunity to build relationships with industry mentors.
Sheridan film and TV students consistently win awards
In the past 10 years, Sheridan film students have:
- been nominated for the Canadian Society of Cinematographer’s Student Cinematography Award 13 times (three times more than any other film school in Canada).
- won the Canadian Cinema Editor’s Student Award of Merit 19 times (this award has multiple winners each year). This is the same as the combined total of the next closest three schools.
Sheridan has been granted a consent by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to offer this degree for a seven-year term starting December 17, 2013 and subject to renewal thereafter. Application to the Ministry for renewal of the consent is a prescribed and cyclical requirement for degree programs at all Ontario colleges. Sheridan will ensure that all students admitted to the Honours Bachelor of Film and Television program during the period of consent will have the opportunity to complete the program within a reasonable time frame. Credentials earned during the period of consent remain valid, even if Ministry consent to offer the program is withdrawn in the future. Prospective students are responsible for satisfying themselves that the program and the degree will be appropriate to their needs (e.g. acceptable to potential employers, professional licensing bodies, or other educational institutions).

Educational philosophy
Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design curriculum and its delivery are designed to address current social issues pertinent to the design industry. This enables students to broaden their understanding of their place within the world.
Fundamental to the vision of the program is the balance of creative and conceptual thinking with the technical and business aspects of the profession. Courses follow a logical sequence with the degree of difficulty building vertically from first year to fourth year.
The various streams provide a range of design problems building in size and scope, from simple to complex in various design sectors. The curriculum builds on fundamental introductions that ensures a strong foundation for students to apply additional more complex learning and skills developed later in the program.
Studio projects are designed to mimic professional practice and require applied theory, creativity and strong technical knowledge. Curriculum is also connected horizontally across each semester to help support the learning in courses happening simultaneously. This demonstrates the inter-connected knowledge and skills required to practice in the industry.
The program provides many opportunities that expose students to practicing professionals and professional practice. Industry leaders and representatives from professional associations like ARIDO and IDC are invited into the classroom as jurors and guest speakers throughout the four years. The internship also provides professional design work experience for students before they enter their final year of study.
The curriculum is student-centric and designed to equip students with the skills that are required for entry-level design positions and advanced study. Manual skills such as drafting, drawing and model making are developed alongside digital skills using current software. Students are also well-versed in the applicable building codes and regulations required to practice in Ontario. Students are exposed to valuable research skills and encouraged to continue their learning past graduation.
Program goals

- Develop confident, creative and critical thinkers that can solve a variety of problems thoughtfully, improving the quality of the built environment and protecting the health, safety and welfare of the public.
- Equip students with the tools to think independently and ethically to ensure technically, environmentally, and socially responsible decision-making.
- Deliver current and relevant curriculum that incorporates equity, diversity and inclusion. This encourages students to create spaces that foster inclusivity and look at design from various perspectives within diverse communities, involving numerous stakeholders.
- Inform students regarding the various facets of the profession, engaging them with designers and industry affiliates.
- Encourage continuous professional and personal growth, instilling a desire to contribute to the profession and society at large. The program encourages students to become active participants in the design community, become members of their local Association, write their NCIDQ exams, give back to the community and become progressive leaders in the profession.
- Prepare graduates for entry-level design positions, equipped with the required knowledge and skills for employment in the diverse design industry, ensuring they possess the body of knowledge necessary to respond to social and environmental issues, while designing interior spaces that are technically proficient, code-compliant, conceptually strong, sustainable and all-inclusive.

- performs public readings from their recently published work and/or current work-in-progress;
- organizes public lectures and/or workshops; and
- works with faculty to augment existing curriculum in the area of creative writing, publishing and/or creativity.
Current Writer-in-Residence
Naben Ruthnum is the 2022–2023 CW&P Writer-in-Residence.
Ruthnum is the author of the novel A Hero of Our Time (Penguin Random House, 2022) and the horror novella Helpmeet (Undertow, 2022), as well as the essay Curry: Eating, Reading, and Race (Coach House, 2017). He won the 2013 Journey Prize for his short story "Cinema Rex," published in The Malahat Review. As Nathan Ripley, he's also the author of two thrillers — Your Life Is Mine (Simon & Schuster, 2019) and Find You in the Dark (Simon & Schuster, 2018) — which sold internationally. Naben also writes for television and film.
CW&P’s Associate Dean Genevieve Amaral highlights Ruthnum’s genre-hopping skill set and writing experience: "Naben’s range of work speaks to a remarkably wide curiosity and passion for storytelling in so many different, modern forms. Whether working in popular or literary genres, TV or film, his writing is thoughtful, deeply felt, and contemporary.”
