We encourage our students to dream big and our Media courses lay the foundations, helping make dreams a reality. Focus is on moving images including television, film and video, radio and web-based technologies and new media as well as learning the fundamentals of PR, marketing and communications.
Our multi-purpose television studio provides students with the ability to produce HD live broadcast and streaming television for a range of formats including multi-camera magazine shows, green screen shoots, interviews, commercials, film sets, drama and audience-based talk shows. Our fully integrated post-production hub comes complete with sound booth, editing facilities and motion graphics, catering for all aspects of the production process.
A strong portfolio and work experience are essential to getting ahead in the media industry, so we will support you to build up a bank of your work and help organise relevant work placements.
Students work in our dedicated Creative Industries Centre and our talented students exhibit a range of their work at our end of year Summer Shows. Our short Summer Shows video encapsulates the talent, vibrancy and range of courses we offer!
“I chose Kingston College as it has a huge reputation for its courses and grades.” Christhiane Moncau, Creative Media Practice
“I chose Kingston College as it has a huge reputation for its courses and grades. I believe that my time here has given me a huge advantage in my early professional life; I’ve produced many short films and professional content, such as my website and social media accounts, where universities and employers can have a look at all the content I have created for the past two years. If you enjoy creating your own content, and want to be part of the media industry, I strongly recommend the Creative Media Practice BTEC at Kingston College, it’s a great creative and fun course that will give you everything you need to become a content creator.”
Christhiane, gained a Triple Distinction*, equivalent to 3 A* at A Level, and is now studying BA (Hons) Film and Television Practice at LSBU.
"Choosing a BTEC allows you to be more hands-on and gain the experience and techniques you will need to get into the media industry. This year I have created a video ‘The Shoes’. We filmed and edited together and it taught us about different camera angles and how to edit together all the different shots to create a sequence. Then we learnt about the film genre ‘Film Noir’ and created our own scene which had the characteristics and would fit into the genre. After film noir we created our own music video to a song of our choice. We had the opportunity to be as creative as possible. Whilst making the music video, we each recorded our own podcast episode on a theme given to us by a client. My theme was how artists can inspire others to be pro-environmental. We are now about to create a single camera drama. Alongside filming all of these units, we have been learning the theory behind film and media and writing our own scripts. I have also been creating digital designs in Photoshop and Illustrator inspired by artists such as Andy Warhol and Banksy. Now we are designing a magazine double page."
