The Level 3 Diploma in Creative Media Production is a one year programme that is 100% coursework based. On successful completion of this, you can progress to the Extended Diploma in year 2 which will give you a UAL qualification equivalent to three A levels, which is well recognised by employers and universities.

All aged 16-18 students have the benefit of following the ‘Futures’ programme which is an innovative approach to curriculum design that ensures our students not only graduate with a high quality vocational qualification but also develop the key transferable skills that employers and higher education institutions demand. Skills such as communication, teamwork, leadership, decision-making and enterprise skills are integrated and promoted. In addition, Futures students benefit from work experience, core tutorials, enrichment and skills development and/or qualifications in English and maths.

During this exciting, practical and fast-paced course you will undertake a number of projects which develop your skills and techniques, you will apply this at the end of each year for your Final Major Project, which will determine your course grade. Projects to be undertaken include: Media Skills, Music Video, Factual Production, Single Camera Production, Multi-camera Production and Specialist Study.

There are a number of collaborations that you will be involved in such as producing props with art students, audio with music technology students, sourcing performers for your projects and having the opportunity to respond to live briefs for real clients both internal and external to the college. To enable you to meet these demands we are extremely well resourced with professional HD cameras, edit suites, a radio studio and a television studio.

By the end of this course, as well as the qualification you will have developed an extensive portfolio of professional work, which will help you be ready for your next steps, whether it be university or employment in the media industries.
