Certificate in Digital Media and Design

Our certificate in Digital Media and Design is your space to develop all the essential skills in design and communication. Where you’ll explore creative thinking, and build your confidence in your ability to create.

You’ll get ‘briefs’ just like you would in the industry - and the tools needed to solve them. There’ll be practical tasks and creative projects both in-class and in solo-learning. There’s lectures, demonstrations, workshops. You’ll have individual and group discussions and assignments.

It's 100% in-course assessment - so your work matters - you’re building a portfolio not just collecting pieces of paper.

This course sets you up for advanced studies or entry level roles in design, marketing, and digital media. Let’s create together!
