Level 3 Diploma and Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production & Technology

The Level 3 Diploma and Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production & Technology are designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and understanding necessary to access and progress to degree-level study or employment in the media sector. They provide an opportunity for those who have an interest in media to explore, develop and test their creativity within a qualification structure that is stimulating and demanding and provides a supportive transition from general to more specialized study.

Study for these qualifications will normally be over a period of one year for the Diploma and two years for the Extended Diploma.

The structure of the qualifications, with units linked to provide coherence, allows students to synthesize newly acquired practical skills with theoretical knowledge and understanding as they explore their aptitude and ambition and the particular characteristics of a broad range of creative media disciplines.

Students will be encouraged to recognize the unique characteristics of different disciplines and the dynamic and potentially innovative relationships between those disciplines.

The Level 3 Diploma and Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production & Technology are characterized by experiential, experimental, and integrated learning, relying on the application and transfer of recognized skills whilst valuing the accidental and novel results that can occur in both individual and collaborative practice. The qualifications acknowledge common principles and distinctive characteristics within the wider media sector.

The qualification will be internally assessed through assignments marked by your lecturers and externally moderated by the awarding body UAL.
