Bachelor
of Fine Arts Degree Programmes.
Fields of specialization
NAFTI
offers seven professional programmes in the areas of Film and Television
Production leading to the award of Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) Degrees in
affiliation with the
University
of
Ghana
. All programmes offered at NAFTI are critical, theoretical, historical and
practical in orientation and seek to raise your awareness of the relevant
social, institutional, cultural, industrial and technological contexts within
which cinematic and broadcasting activities proceed. Programmes are not intended
as a theoretical training, though they do include a measure of theoretical work
– usually of a compulsory nature – designed to promote an understanding of
the relationship between theory and practice, production and reception. Many
students nevertheless find that theoretical work undertaken as part of their
academic curriculum provides a basis for their later aspirations to work as
‘total’ practitioners and to proceed to do postgraduate study. During the
first two years, all students follow a common curriculum.
Two
mandatory courses are available to all Level 200 students at the
University
of
Ghana
. These are African Popular Culture (Traditional Festivals and Funeral
Ceremonies) and African Drama.
Students
follow their specialization curriculum at Level 300 and proceed through to Level
400.
