Course summary

There are many careers in art, craft and design. Most of these require further study at an art school, further education college or university, and the AS/A2 is an ideal starting point. The course will give you a good working knowledge of materials, practices and technology within art. You will develop the skills to interpret and convey your ideas and feelings using art, craft and design. You will increase your imaginative and creative powers and your experimental, analytical and documenting skills. You will also develop a specialist vocabulary and the knowledge and understanding of the place of art, craft and design in history and contemporary society.

Entry requirements

• Entry to the Sixth Form is open to those who have the desire to further their education and who have good GCSE (or equivalent) passes. • We routinely ask for at least a grade 5 at GCSE in the subject, but this is not absolute and there are exceptions. • The previous study of a subject is not always essential to be admitted onto the year 12 course.

How you'll be assessed

Personal Investigation: Candidates submit one major project which has a personal significance. The investigation includes a related personal study that must be between 1000 – 3000 words. Controlled Assignment: Candidates select one starting point from an early release question paper. They must be given a minimum of 3 weeks in which to plan and prepare. In 15 hours of controlled time, candidates work to plan and then realise ideas into a final outcome.
