Assessment

You will be assessed through a variety of practical and theoretical tasks. The course is made up of 8 units, all of which must be studied and passed. The University of the Arts London (UAL) Level 2 Creative Media Production and Technology is assessed through a series of projects that are designed to broaden student’s skills, experience and expertise. The projects are multi-disciplinary and require students to work collaboratively and pro-actively with fellow students as well as external clients and stakeholders. A final end-point assessment (commonly referred to as the Final Major Project) decides the student’s overall grade for the year which is graded at: PASS/MERIT or DISTINCTION

Progression

Successful completion of the Level 2 Diploma will provide direct entry onto the BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Creative Media.

Career Progression
