The University Senate has approved the contraction of the MFP programme from five semesters to three with effect from the 2021-2022 session.

The new admission requirements and programme duration have been structured into two categories:

Category A.

Holders of any of the following qualifications shall be admitted directly to the second semester of the 3-semester programme:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Film/Television/Motion Picture Production
• Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communication/Theatre Arts/etc.—with evidence of course work and or final project in film production or film studies; and
• HND in Film/Television/Motion Picture Production plus a PGD in any discipline.

In the full time mode the programme duration shall be 2 semesters/12 months.

Category B.

Holders of any of the following qualifications shall be admitted directly to the first semester of the 3-semester programme:

• Bachelor’s Degree in any discipline [preferably in the humanities and social sciences]
• HND in any discipline.

In the full time mode, the duration of the programme shall be 3 semesters/18 months.

Both the new and old programmes shall for now run concurrently.

Consequently, in the first semester of the 2021-2022 session, the MFP shall have two streams in the old programme; and at least one stream in the new programme.
