Connecting with Industry

Drawing on its strengths as a University of Applied Sciences, SFU fosters close collaboration between academia and industry through internships, industry-sharing sessions and professionally equipped learning facilities. Students gain valuable hands-on experience, sharpen workplace-ready skills, and build the confidence to make a seamless transition into their careers.

Industry Guest Sharing

Taking the Higher Diploma in Film and Media Production as an example, SFU hosts a series of industry-sharing sessions featuring experienced directors, producers and other leading practitioners. By offering first-hand perspectives on emerging trends and professional practice, these sessions broaden students' horizons and deepen their understanding of the dynamic film and media landscape.
