Entry requirements

Candidates are required to have already completed a Level 8 degree or equivalent. Basic computer, web and keyboard skills are essential. Familiarity with social media and media sharing platforms and services are desirable also, as well as an interest at the very least in video production, graphic design, and/or interactive media. If there are high levels of interest, admission to the course may be on the basis of interview. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) will be applicable for candidates with existing skills or knowledge in any of the programme modules. What is RPL? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
