In Humber's Media Foundation certificate program, students will develop foundational knowledge and skills in digital media, communications, writing, and design, as preparation for further study in advanced media programs in Humber's Faculty of Media & Creative Arts. Student's media training and in-studio work on media arts will thoroughly ground them in foundational theory, and they will use up-to-date, industry-standard software to create various media content. 

This program is designed with input from industry partners, and is taught by faculty with strong industry connections and experience who can give students valuable insights into the trends and realities of the media industry. In the first semester, students will develop strong skills for successful postsecondary learning while they are introduced to film studies, photography, communications and digital design. In the second and final semester, students will consolidate their general theoretical knowledge and practical skills in Visual Literacy and will build an area of focus by choosing four electives from Video Production, Script Writing, Audio and Video Editing, Television Studio Production, Media Communications, Image Capture, and Design for Media.

Designed for students who are new to postsecondary education and media, this two semester program will give them a broad understanding of what it is like to work in different sectors of the media industry, and will help students to develop a career focus in preparation for future learning and success in the workplace.
