Course summary

 If you have an artistic flair and a passion for drawing, painting and being creative, A Level Art & Design could be for you. Be clear: there is a terrific amount of work involved and it can be extremely time-consuming, but the ultimate rewards are most certainly worth the hard work.

Entry requirements

As a minimum, students must achieve at least grade 7 (equivalent to A grade) in four separate subjects. In addition, all students must achieve a minimum grade of 6 (equivalent to a high B grade) in Mathematics and English GCSE or IGCSE. Please also note that a minimum of grade 7 is required in those subjects, or closely related subjects, that students wish to study for A Level with the exception of Mathematics where students will require a minimum grade 8 at GCSE and Further Mathematics where students will require a minimum grade 9 at GCSE.

How you'll be assessed

The A2 qualification is awarded based on two components. The first of these is a Personal Investigation, which allows you to explore themes that are of particular interest to you in practical ways and will include a written piece of about 3000 words. Component 2 is also a practical unit that may include processes such as drawing, painting, ceramics and photography based on one of several themes offered by the exam board and which culminates in a 15-hour practical exam.
