About this course

The course covers the creative media industry from the ground up. You'll explore video production, photography, graphic design, and digital content. Units also cover games development and media storytelling. It's a broad, practical qualification that builds real industry knowledge.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel BTEC National Extended Diploma in Creative Media Practice.

Who this course is for

If you want to stand out from the crowd in university applications then doing an EPQ is a really good way of demonstrating that you have gone above and beyond your studies. You take it alongside your level 3 courses to stretch and challenge yourself in a subject area or activity of interest to you. It gives you the chance to get skills such as research, independent and self-directed learning that you'll need in higher education. You'll need to be keeping up and doing well in your main study program and be able to manage your time well.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop skills in video production and editing.
  • You'll learn photography techniques and digital image editing.
  • You'll create graphic design work for print and screen.
  • You'll explore games development and interactive media.
  • You'll study how the creative media industry works.
  • You'll plan, produce, and review your own media projects.
  • You'll build a portfolio of creative work.

How you will learn

You'll learn through practical projects and studio-based work in the classroom. Assessment is mainly through coursework and assignments rather than exams. You'll produce media projects that are marked against set criteria. Some units may include presentations or written reports. Your work builds into a portfolio over the two years.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. The Sweyne Park School will confirm anything else you need before you start.
