Journey from High School to VIU

“Why am I taking this program? Because that is literally what I have been doing my whole life. Why stop now!”

- Quinlan

Our courses teach students the nuances of persuasion and messaging in professional, amateur, or pro-am media environments to develop these and other practical technological skills in demand in a variety of contemporary careers in the creative cultural industries from media outlets to think tanks and NGOs, corporate communications and government departments to Web and video game start-ups and design and PR firms. 

 

If you are looking for work in the entertainment arts, TV and radio broadcasting, advertising, public service, alternative and activist media, film and documentary production, Web design, the gaming industry, or a combination of any of the above, you have come to the right place.
