Course summary

Students choose to study Art at A Level for a variety of reasons, but they all have one thing in common; a passion for the subject. Some of our talented students have already set their sights on a creative career path, such as Architecture, Product Design, Art History, Fashion, Film and Fine Art and our track record for getting our students onto these Degree courses is high. Architecture in particular is a popular choice with our students and many of the reputable Schools of Architecture state that they are particularly interested in candidates who have studied Fine Art as the course develops an innovative approach and creative thinking, which is a fundamental element in the study of Architecture. There are other students, however, who are highly creative and love the subject, but who ultimately want to follow a science based career or have their heart set on studying another academic subject at university. For these individuals, Art can provide the creative outlet they yearn for, whilst providing academic breadth. Our recent A Level Art alumni who chose not to study Art and Design at Degree level, have gone on to study Medicine, Dentistry, Chemistry, English Literature, Psychology, Marketing, Modern Languages and Anthropology.
