Digital Media Cambridge Technical

Students will take between five and seven units, three of which are mandatory which cover ‘Media Products and audiences’, ‘Preproduction and planning’, and ‘Create a media product’. The optional units will vary depending on the cohort but could include ‘Advertising Media’ and ‘The creation and use of sound in media’.
