This course has been designed specifically to develop practical skills and knowledge across the whole of the Creative Arts and Media Sectors, giving you the chance to experience a 'taster' of all sectors before progressing onto a pathway of your choice.

You will study a total of two units covering the different creative arts and media practices of art, craft and design, photography and video production as well as an introduction to employment available and career pathways needed to get to the creative career of your choice.

This course is delivered in a practical way, but there is a requirement for some written work and research in order to achieve the qualification.

As a Creative Arts student you will have access to our art, design, media, music and photography studios, including iMac editing suites using industry standard software.

Your lecturers all have a working knowledge of the Creative Arts and Media Industries and are still actively involved in the business outside of the College, resulting in accurate, up to date knowledge.
