National Extended Diploma in Creative Media Practice
Our two-year Extended Diploma in Creative Media Practice will help you take your interest in media to the next level and discover more about how it shapes our everyday lives.
This dynamic, innovative course, which is taught over two years at our UCA Rochester campus, is equivalent to three A-Levels, and you can start it after completing GCSEs or a Level 2 Diploma.
You’ll learn about digital character design, storyboarding and narrative, and develop an understanding of stop-frame, GIF and Flash animation. You will also increase your technical skills in photography and learn image editing techniques, and across all these subjects we'll teach you theoretical skills so you can work independently and develop your ideas.
As the course progresses, you will be given the chance to focus on a specific subject area - either lens-based media, graphic and interface design, illustration, animation, computer-generated arts, or games design. This will help you build a good portfolio and gain skills to take with you into the working world, or onto an undergraduate degree where you can really specialise.
At UCA we will support you in your transition from diploma to degree or employment – most students go on to study degrees with us such as Animation, Photography, Computer Games Arts or Television Production.
We also offer a uniquely collaborative learning experience – you’ll be working alongside our undergraduate and postgraduate artists within our specialist creative environment, with access to high-spec facilities and equipment.
On completion of this course, you will be awarded the Pearson BTEC National Extended Diploma in Creative Media Practice.
