Entry requirements

We require students to have passed some form of visual art qualification at KS4. This is a creative Art course, not a course of photographic techniques. High standards are only achieved by students who use photography as a medium for their creative visual ideas. Visual learning at this level is much more demanding than most students realise. Ambition and determination are required because this learning will challenge you.
