The Extended Diploma is a level 3, two-year practical course which is equivalent to 3 A Levels. The course is studio and workshop-based and will prepare you for a specialist art career.
For all advanced level (Level 3) courses such as GCE A levels and BTEC Level 3, the entry requirement will be 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above (including Maths and English). For most subjects a GCSE grade 9—6 is required in the chosen or related subject or a merit at a BTEC Level 2. It is preferred that students have a minimum of a GCSE grade 5 or BTEC Merit at Level 2 in this or a related subject. You must have a portfolio of evidence to document your creativity
Work is assessed through a combination of externally set assessments and portfolio briefs. Students will also produce a Final Project for the compulsory specialist units which will be externally assessed.
