What the college says

The art industry is the third largest income generator in the UK and there are numerous possibilities for art-based careers.

At Marling Sixth Form there are five A Level Art & Design related courses to choose from: Fine Art, Graphic Communication,Textiles,Three-Dimensional design and Photography. Each course has its own syllabus. Students choose from a range of themes, use of media and approaches relevant to their chosen specialism.The aim of each Art & Design course is to provide maximum flexibility and will be tailored to meet students' particular strengths and interests. Students can select more than one Art subject.
