Studying at Media Academy Cymru (MAC)
MAC welcome applications from students who have been unable to access similar opportunities elsewhere, are at risk of social exclusion, and are not in education, training or employment.
They have industry experts teaching on the courses and they are developing pathways into the creative industries. Therefore, students who complete courses with them, will have support moving onto further education or the world of work.
Students not only achieve BTEC qualifications but, more importantly, they produce portfolios of work, which they are able to use to demonstrate their skills and potential to future employers and/or colleges/universities. Learning these relevant practical and creative skills is essential for being prepared for work.
Their students study at MAC HQ, rather than the large city centre campus, which many students prefer. Whilst studying at MAC, you’ll notice that:
- your learning environment is relaxed, nurturing and inclusive.
- they prioritise student well-being
- class sizes are small (16 students max)
