Much greater importance is now being attached to these audio-visual mediums as they can be used most effectively in awareness-building issues and programs. In the recent years, interest in the studies of film and television has immensely increased all over the world. As a result, these two mediums have emerged as major academic subjects under the umbrella of a wider discipline Media studies. Waking up to the call of time, Stamford University Bangladesh has launched the Department of Film & Media in the year 2004. In this Department, theoretical and practical aspects of both these audio-visual mediums are taught extensively at graduation and post-graduation levels. This department is now offering courses under two programs: B. A (Hons) in Film & Media and M. A. in Film.
