Entry Requirements
Standard entry requirements, plus:
Students must have an enthusiastic interest in Digital design and Media Production which should be demonstrated at interview
Grade 3 or above in a creative subject such as GCSE Media.
Can I take additional qualifications?
Whilst students study a Level 2 course at ONE, they have the opportunity to retake GCSE English and Maths, which provides a good grounding to go on to a more advanced course such as the Level 3 Extended Diploma in Media and Film Production or Digital Design and Communication at One.
How will I be assessed?
You will complete a range of projects and assignments which will be internally assessed via portfolios of work. An overall grade is awarded at the end of the course following external moderation by the awarding body. The final qualification will be awarded as a Level 2 Diploma in Art and Design, which is a broad qualification that covers digital design and media production.
What are the costs?
There is a small £10 fee to study on this course. This goes toward art materials used throughout the one-year program of study. Students will also receive a small amount of printing credit, this may need to be topped up throughout the year. Students should budget for trips to galleries and museums in order to gain maximum benefit from this course. These will take place once a term and we aim to keep costs below £15 for each trip. Students in receipt of bursary payments can use these funds to pay the materials fee, and in the online College shop.
