Entry Requirements

Achieve 4 GCSE's at grade 3 or above to include English Language Grade 3.

Assessment

The University of the Arts London (UAL) Level 2 Creative Media Production and Technology is assessed through a series of projects that are designed to broaden student’s skills, experience and expertise. The projects are multi-disciplinary and require students to work collaboratively and pro-actively with fellow students as well as external clients and stakeholders. All projects must be passed before undertaking a final Major Project which decides the student’s overall grade for the year and which is graded at Pass, Merit or Distinction.

Progression

Successful completion of the Level 2 Diploma at a Merit or higher level, GCSE English Language at Grade 4 (plus a satisfactory reference from the course leader, assessing aptitude, attendance, behaviour etc) will provide direct entry onto the Level 3 Diploma in Creative Media. Students can also apply for alternative Level 3 courses that may better suit their career aims such as: Art & Design, Music, Fashion, Business & Communications, Photography, Graphics & Illustration, Digital Arts, Animation and Games Design or Production Arts.
