Overview
Over one year, this CertHE programme trains you to become a digital media creative, while also developing the skills required to deliver and distribute video content across platforms, including business, government and the charity sector.
This course focuses on mastering the software and hardware you need to become an indispensable team member in this fast growing field, and on developing your creative abilities and understanding.
After one year of full time study at university, a Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) at Level 4 is awarded. Salford’s CertHE programmes are hands on and practical, with flexible learning options available so you can choose to study full or part time. The course is also available as a two year Diploma in Higher Education (DipHE).
What You’ll Learn

- Learn how to produce content, create stories and put ideas together to develop digital and creative content
- Edit video, using industry standard software
- Develop immersive content
- Learn the skills necessary to develop a small business and run your affairs as a freelancer
Progression
A CertHE can lead directly to a career, as you will have gained valued skills and experience, or you might choose to continue with further studies. After graduating, you can go straight into industry, working for a wide range of employers in various junior creative digital media roles.
