    • What’s the difference between a Creative Media course and a study programme?

      Traditionally you may have studied a Media course, where you would only study the qualification, such as video editing, photography and advertising production. A Creative Media study programme is so much more than a Creative Media course!

      This change to study programmes is due to national feedback from employers saying young people need to have more than just a “qualification”; they need to have the skills to work in their chosen industry. A study programme encompasses the subject qualification, English and maths skills as well as work experience and personal development skills. You can read more about study programmes here.
