Course summary

Candidates will have opportunities to explore a variety of formal elements such as the use of line, tone, coplanar pattern and texture through thematic enquiry, sequential development of ideas, focused observations and critical appraisal. Besides requiring specific subjects for specific courses, British universities require all applicants to matriculate by obtaining a sufficient number of GCSE and A Level passes. Art is an acceptable subject for this purpose.

Entry requirements

• General requirement: GCSE grade 6 or above (or Grade B or above) in Mathematics and English Language. • Course requirements: ▪ GCSE grade 7, 8 or 9 (or Grade A or A*) in the subjects to be studied. More than a general ability in the subject, A level requires the experience and maturity that should result from two years of specialised activity in the Sixth Form. In addition, a GCSE grade of 7 is preferred, although portfolios of work can be discussed and internally considered if a student misses the requested grade of 7 and achieves a high grade of 6.

How you'll be assessed

Students will have to enter two components for the A Level: • Component One: Personal Investigation - 60% of the total A Level • Component Two: Externally Set Task - 40% of the total A Level Component Two includes a timed examination of 15 hours and preparation work connected to this.
