About this course
The Higher National Diploma in Film and Television develops professional, self-reflecting individuals able to meet the demands of employers in the film and television sector and adapt to a constantly changing world.
The Level 5 Higher National Diploma modules prepare you to move on to specific areas of film and television at Level 6 or to enter employment with the qualities and abilities necessary for roles that require personal responsibility and decision-making. You will develop and apply your own ideas to your studies, to deal with uncertainty and complexity, to explore solutions, demonstrate critical evaluation and use both theory and practice in a wide range of film and television situations. By the end of your Level 5 studies, you will have a sound understanding of the principles in your area of specialist study and will know how to apply those principles more widely in the business world. You will be able to perform effectively in your specialist area.

Personal Professional Development – This module will develop and enable you to apply contextual knowledge to inform your personal progression in film and television. You will also develop and apply professional approaches to creative problem solving to support personal progression.
