Their input is vital to ensuring the technical qualification reflects the needs of the sector. Your lessons will take place in our high spec Media classrooms with access to the latest industry software.

You will spend time in the classroom, learning core principles of the Media industry and essential theory, and in the process develop your professional and technical skills. This will be balanced with practical work in our studio and creative spaces to build your technical skills. You will get the chance to work in two forms of Media including but not exclusive to moving/still image, audio and written word.

The industrial placement is a really fantastic part of the course, and unique to T Levels.

I would say it’s a college that really balances academia with fun, there is lots of extra-curricular stuff that you can get involved in. It has a really good work/life balance.

I overcame a couple of barriers by working really hard to get the top grades. My experience was really good, with the course and the lecturers, the residentials and activities, together it was all really good. I had really great teaching support, I could always go to the lecturers and speak to them if I needed to.
