The undergraduate programme in Film and Multimedia is aimed at developing creative, competent, responsible, and ethically minded film and multimedia professionals, who will be conscious of their unique cultural role as regards the creation of content and who will strive to contribute to societal progress by transmitting the most positive and enduring values through their work. The programme, therefore, will uphold and impart to the students the intellectual, ethical and professional values that promote creativity, responsibility, respect for the common good, and best practice. The overall intention is to nurture individuals who are creative, professionally competent, enterprising, and zealous for the common good with the ability to make free and morally upright decisions, and who can thus impart positive values in service to society.
The programme will provide intensive practical and theoretical courses that encompass all key aspects of film and multimedia production. It will emphasize particularly the need for high ethical standards in the exercise of professional work and obligations. Hence, the curriculum will be suffused with courses that deal with human values, analytical and critical thinking, and the appropriate use of communication media.
Candidates for the undergraduate programme shall be accepted at the 100 level, for a four‐year programme, and in 200 level as direct entry applicants, for a three‐year course.
Admission into the programme, at the 100 level, will ordinarily be based on the candidate’s performance at both the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and the entrance examination of the University. In addition, the candidate should possess passes at Credit level in the Senior Secondary Certificate (SSC), or its equivalent, in five relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two passes.
To gain admission into the 200 level, the candidate, in addition to passing the evaluative test of the Pan‐Atlantic University, will need to possess either Two ‘A’ level passes in Arts or Social Science subjects or a tertiary level certificate such as NCE, OND or HND. The direct entry level candidate must also possess five credit level passes in five relevant subjects at Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE), which must include Mathematics and English Language.

“I am a 100-level student of Information Science and Media Studies (ISMS) School of Media and Communication, Pan-Atlantic University. I want to become a professional graphics designer after school.
They came to my school Graceland College but at the time I did not show much interest. It was when I had gone to study for an A' Levels programme at Qaardan Educational Foundation that Dr. Okafor told me that I am good at graphics and some other IT related subjects and that she would like for me to study here. So I decided to take a look at it, then I applied and got a scholarship eventually.
I am excited about the forthcoming matriculation ceremony though I will be attending alone. This is because my family resides in the east. It will not be easy to have them all come from the east.
At SMC I have met nice teachers, tough subjects, very good labs so I get to learn a lot of things. There are very good computers in the lab so I get to practice a lot especially with the Mac. There are also good drawing pads. The school's facilty is very welcoming and very nice." – Okoye Gabriel Ikechukwu 100 level student of Information Science and Media Studies (ISMS).
