What the college says

Some take the subject as an opportunity to develop a personal talent or interest, as a way of enriching an otherwise academic course. Many degree courses can be accessed with Art as an A-level. An ever enriching number of combined degree coursed feature Art with another compatible subject e.g. Business Studies, English, European Studies, Drama, History and Media. There are also many specifically Art based career opportunities , e.g. Graphic Design, Product Design, Theatre Design, Advertising, Illustration and Architecture.
