Interested in films, radio, magazines, newspapers and more? Thinking about a career in the media? The Level 3 Diploma in Creative Media Production could provide you with the perfect start. Using our state-of-the-art television, radio and design studios, you will work across a range of subjects, for example directing your own documentaries, writing and recording radio dramas and creating professional-looking magazines. Your lecturers are all media professionals who will help you to develop the practical skills you need, as well as showing you how to do the research and planning aspects of any production.

The Level 3 Extended Diploma is a two year course worth 180 credits and is usually taken after successful completion of the Diploma in the first year. These units range from Music Video production to Journalism to Animation to Film Studies. We are also currently running units in Page Layout and Design and in Live TV Studio Production. As well as the product - video, radio, magazine etc. - you will also have to put together a file of research and planning for each project. We will show you how to present this work to near professional standards and we will provide help with the English if necessary. All our software is industry standard - Final Cut, Adobe Audition, Adobe Creative suite etc. We will take you to the London Film Festival, as well as events at the British Film Institute and BBC radio recordings. There is also an international trip - recently we have arranged study visits to Berlin, Barcelona and Amsterdam.

About this course

You will need at least four GCSEs at C or above and it is strongly recommended that English is one of these. When we interview you, you will need to demonstrate your interest in the media - we will ask you about films you have seen, books you have read, television shows and more. If you have some previous experience with cameras - either still or video - or you like writing short stories, for example, then you will be a strong candidate.

Course Assessment Method

Your subject lecturers will grade your work for each unit against clearly-stated criteria. The grades are Pass, Merit or Distinction. Some of your work will be checked by another lecturer and a further sample will be inspected by an External Verifier from Edexcel, the organisation which awards these Diplomas. These systems mean that you are guaranteed a fair grade for your work according to national standards.

We choose a balanced range of subjects making the best use of our lecturers' skills and experience and our technical facilities so that you end up with a broad understanding of the different aspects of the media industries.
