This course will provide you with an opportunity to develop your intellectual, imaginative and creative capabilities. You will investigate, analyse, experiment and develop your technical and expressive skills through a range of physical and digital processes. You will gain an aesthetic understanding and appreciation of how we rely on graphics to communicate successfully in the commercial world. A coursework portfolio will allow you to develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by the work of graphic designers and other sources. You will explore the use of a variety of media, materials and processes, both 2D and 3D, to explore a range of aesthetics. You will learn how to utilise typography and visual imagery in response to design briefs, considering your audience and demographic. Your critical judgement will develop and you will gain the ability to present a personal and meaningful response that realises your intentions.
These vary for each A-Level subject, but you will need a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 5 or equivalent, including English and Mathematics. Many subjects require grade 6 or above to study them at A Level (please see our subject guides). New students will be given a conditional offer based on their GCSE results, an interview and a reference from their current school. Grade 4 in Art/DT
