Overview
The Higher National Diploma in Creative Media (Film) has been designed to develop the skills required to launch a successful career in filmmaking. Equivalent to the first two years of a bachelors degree, you can choose to leave after one year, gaining a level 4 Higher National Certificate or two years, gaining a Higher National Diploma.
