Who We Are

The Media Exchange at 230 Richmond Street East is a production studio that creates opportunities for students of the School of Media to participate in work integrated learning experiences by collaborating with our experienced faculty, staff as well as interacting with our clients. The students are trained to understand our clients needs, their brand, target audience and creative preferences, in order to create effective media communications. We also make original projects that are written, directed and fully produced by our students as they explore the intersection of learning their craft and professional practice. Our mission is to explore the various fields of media production and we offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
