What the college says

A Level is a two year course comprised of two components. Module 1 is an in-depth personal investigation of a theme or subject chosen by the student, worth 60% of the final grade. Before commencing this component, in their first term, they are introduced to a foundation of skills, techniques and processes in a breadth of 2D and 3D media. Component 2 is an externally set assignment worth 40% of the final grade where students choose from a list of starting points set by the exam board. Students develop their ideas using the extensive skills and understanding they have accumulated since the start of the course. This component concludes with 15 hours of unaided, supervised time allowing students to produce a high quality and highly personal response to the theme. A Level Art & Design is by no means a ‘soft’ subject choice, as success requires intellectual stamina, risk-taking, personal reflection and original thought, in addition to a high level of skill with a range of media and processes. It is also incredibly rewarding, for similar reasons.
