I decided to come to AMPD because we have a really strong music education program and I was actually able to take both classical cello and music education. Our facilities are amazing. We have so many practice rooms along with incredible professors. Eleni Mitrpoulos Third-Year Music Student

The networking opportunities here, combined with being located in Toronto—the hub of Canada's film industry—definitely played a key role in my decision to join this program.

What I really love about this program is the network that you create with your classmates. From first year all the way to fourth year you're with a great group of students that you'll spend time with both in and outside of the classroom. As a Film student, I also really appreciate being able to […]
