Course summary

All art and design courses provide a stimulating and exciting exploration into the varied art specialisms. You will develop ideas by researching into other artists and be encouraged to examine the world around you visually. You will work through a variety of techniques and learn to work with appropriate media, materials and processes. As an art and design student, you will need to write about your work, to express personal, creative ideas and produce final outcomes using a range of approaches and methods.

Entry requirements

• Ideally a grade 4 or above in an Art or Design subject at GCSE (Art & Design, Fine Art, Photography, Graphic Design, Textiles or similar). • Students who did not achieve the entry requirements (or did not study any Art or Design subject) must be prepared to show evidence of creative work at enrolment. This could be sketches, paintings, animation, digital illustration, textiles or any other creative projects. • Ideally you should have a grade 4 or above in GCSE English language. • There is no specific GCSE maths requirement to study this course.

How you'll be assessed

This is a new-style linear A-level course. You will NOT take an external AS exam at the end of the first year. In the second year of the course, you will take external exams that assess content covered in the first and second year. These exams (along with portfolio work) will determine your A-level grade. The A-level components will be assessed through a personal investigation and an externally set assignment.
