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.
