Higher Diploma in Creative and Media Level 2

What will I study?
This course will cover lots of exciting visual and performing
creative processes, alongside conceptual ideas and practical
skills. You'll get to try lots of different career paths by doing
practical activities, workshops and small projects, usually
combining two or more areas, and using these skills you'll work on
a real life project. You will have regular sessions (workshops,
talks and visits) with professionals from the industry, for example
working with an animator, photographer, graffiti artist, set
designer, dancer, actor, musician or film director. There will be
regular trips and visits to find out about specific jobs and work
going on in the creative industries, for example a back stage tour
at the National Theatre. You will be able to take specialist
courses in Creative and Media as
part of your Diploma. You could learn about dark room printing if
opting for photography or set design if choosing theatre.
What can I do next?
This can lead to further studies at Level 3 in Creative and
Media, either as a diploma or as a specialist BTEC in Art &
Design, Media Production, Performing Arts, Dance, Technical Theatre
or Music.
What are the entry requirements?
You will need to attend an interview and complete a short test.
Come prepared to talk about your interests in subjects covered by
the Creative and Media Diploma and any experience you have had in
these areas.
What will it cost?
If you are under 19 and a home student, in most circumstances,
you don't pay any fees. However, you will need to find this out
when you apply.
