Level 3 Diploma in Media Production: Radio, TV and Print

To study at Level 3, you will need an average entry score of 5.0 from
your best 6 GCSE subjects, ideally including English and Maths.

You will also be required to show a portfolio of work when you apply.
In instances where little or no portfolio and/or performance experience is
shown, we will guide you towards the best course to help you build your
portfolio and develop the skills and knowledge you need to succeed at higher
levels.

This study programme is designed to help you move quickly toward advanced
jobs, higher education, or apprenticeship opportunities if you know what you
want to do next and meet the entry requirements needed for success.

Achieving a Level 3 qualification will improve your future earning potential
and career choices. It also allows you to progress to Higher Education, Higher
Apprenticeships, and Degree Apprenticeships. These can lead to roles like
Advanced Technician or Skilled Supervisor at Level 3, and eventually to
management or professional status as you continue your
studies.

You will learn through practical lessons in our modern digital studios and be
assessed through multiple projects that will build your creative skills.

Your final project each year will be the main basis of your grade, giving you
the chance to showcase the skills you’ve developed. Throughout the year you will
also complete regular assessments, providing you with detailed feedback to help
you improve your skills and knowledge.

By the end of your course, you’ll be ready to take your first steps into the
world of media production. This course opens the door to a
range of creative careers, including:

• Radio production


• TV and film production


• Journalism


• Content creation

You may progress to higher education at a range of universities or
