Level 4 & 5 Media Students Gain Real-World Experience on Residential

This week we’re shining a spotlight on Higher Education at Grantham College and to kick things off, we’re sharing highlights from a recent residential trip with our Level 4 HNC and Level 5 HND Media students.

Now in its 5th year, this year’s trip to the stunning North Pennines did not disappoint!

Over 5 days, our HE Media students planned, shot, and directed 4 original short films — all while tackling the challenges of working on location. From sweeping landscapes and waterfalls to woodlands, reservoirs, and historic sites, the North Pennines offered a cinematic backdrop like no other. This residential is a key part of our Media programme, giving students real-world experience on a live set. Their teamwork, planning, and commitment have been outstanding — and all of their hard work goes toward their final grades. 

The finished films will be available soon on the Grantham College Media YouTube channel, and is also being featured at the Boston Film Festival! Stay local for high-quality Higher Education.
