Creative and Media (Level 3 Diploma)
LEVEL 3 DIPLOMA The Creative and Media Diploma is an entirely new course, designed to enable you to develop creativity and confidence and the ability to think, question, explore and communicate. You will learn about the creative and media industries, explore your own creativity, develop skills in critical thinking, problem solving and communication, and learn practical skills which enable you to apply your ideas in different ways.This is a project-based course, equivalent to three and a half A levels.
Course Content
You will be making products for real audiences, including the possibility of performances at theatres, cinema screenings, exhibitions and internet showcases of your work.

You will study and learn in a variety of ways, including individual, small group and whole class productions, internet-based research, discussions and contact with creative and media professionals. Much of the time will be spent working with others in making media products, so the course is very hands-on. You will experience some units which are a mixture of art and media and some which mix performance and media.

You will also have the opportunity to take some specialised media units.

For most of the course, you will be based here at Long Road. Sometimes you will also have access to the AVID media suite at the Coleridge campus.

The diploma consists of four main parts:

Principal Learning, which involves five coursework projects (some individual, some group) and an on-screen exam writing about one of them,

An Extended Project, which can be related to your work experience or to some other aspect of the course.

Additional Learning, for which you will study A level Media Studies as part of the course.

Functional Skills, which involves passing tests in English, Maths and IT.
