YOUR DEGREE PATHWAY
Diploma to Degree — One Seamless Path
Begin with a Toronto Film School diploma and continue directly into a Bachelor of Creative Arts (BCA) through our pathway partner, Yorkville University. With Dual Enrolment, you could secure your spot early and complete both a diploma and a degree in as little as 3–4 years*. Students who pursue both may also be eligible to save up to $10,000 in tuition*.
Speak with an admissions advisor to learn more.
*$10,000 bursary is applied to the last two terms of the BCA program. Students presenting shorter-duration credentials (e.g., 12-month diplomas or fully online diplomas) may be required to complete additional academic coursework at YU. TFS graduates must complete all diploma courses with a 1.7 CGPA (on a 4.3 scale) or higher to qualify for YU’s BCA program. The 3-year completion timeline applies to domestic students taking a full course load, studying year-round, and/or with approved transfer credits. International students should consult an admissions advisor, as program duration may vary to meet PGWP eligibility. Request a call with an advisor for full details on eligibility, transfer credits, and program duration.
