General Eligibility

96 UCAS points. Any subjects are acceptable at Level 3. Subjects that support you in showcasing either creative OR technical skills relevant to the study of digital content creation are preferred. Creative subjects such as media, film, art and design, graphic design, photography, or fine art are welcomed. Alternatively, technical subjects such as information technology, computing, digital production, design, and development can be a great starting point for this degree. We accept qualifications from across the UCAS Tariff, so if you're unsure if the subjects you're studying are suitable or want help choosing appropriate subjects at Level 3, please get in touch. We'll be happy to advise you. You should also have five GCSEs in grade C or above or grade 4 to 9 (or equivalent), including English and Mathematics. You'll be required to attend an interview and provide a portfolio of appropriate work. Typically, portfolios center on one of the following areas: art, design, media, sculpture, photography, video editing, film, web design, games, computing-based or technical projects. We'll also consider any previous work or experience when we consider your application. The quality of a portfolio will be judged alongside traditional UCAS point-bearing qualifications to determine the success of an application. Therefore, we give special consideration to applicants without the above qualifications who have a strong portfolio.
