Media (Creative Media) Diploma

The Creative Media Diploma course gives students the opportunity to develop both academic and practical skills in a vocationally focused holistic study of media.

Throughout the two-year course, students will cultivate a range of analytical, theoretical, and technical skills relevant to working practices in the Creative Media industry.

Students will develop skills in the following areas:

• Moving Image (short film, music video)
• Graphics and Lens (branding, photography)
• Audio (podcasts)
• Character and Environment (character, set, and costume design)
• Text (blogs, social media)

The course is 100% internally assessed (no external examination) and would be studied alongside additional subjects (A Level or single-year vocational course). Students will also be expected to undertake a relevant work experience placement which the college can help to organise.

At least five GCSEs grades 9-4. Must be able to evidence that you have a keen interest in media practice.

The course is designed to cater for a multitude of different media aspirations and disciplines with an emphasis on transferable skills as well as project-specific expertise. The overall aim is to prepare students for a career in the creative media industry. Our students have gone on to creative media-relevant university courses, apprenticeships, and full-time employment.
