Cambridge International AS and A Level Digital Media and Design (9481)

Cambridge International AS & A Level Digital Media & Design is a new addition to the Cambridge International creative subject suite.

This syllabus is for learners who want to explore a range of processes and techniques in digital media. The subject content is grouped into three broad areas of study; digital photography, moving image through film and animation, and mobile and multimedia applications including games design. You can structure a course around a single area of study or create a course that includes a combination of two or three areas of study.

Cambridge International AS & A Level Digital Media & Design helps learners develop the knowledge and skills that will prepare them for further study and to work in a collaborative industry. They will develop an awareness of the world of digital media and design and the factors and contexts that influence it. Learners will:

• develop creative processes and the ability to critically evaluate their work to continually review and refine ideas
• learn how to combine innovative approaches and techniques to solve problems creatively
• expand their knowledge of digital media by exploring different designers, processes and concepts.

This syllabus is available for first examination at AS Level in 2019 and for first examination at A Level in 2020.

From November 2020 you will need to prepare and submit work to us using eSubmission, instead of Secure Exchange. This includes removing the need to submit an attendance register or declaration of originality as these will now be handled within the eSubmission system. For more information refer to the Administrative guide for subjects using eSubmission 2020.
