What the college says

This qualification has been designed by further education experts from institutions across England and the UK to provide young people with the knowledge, skills and understanding necessary to progress to degree level study in art and design, or into employment. Intentionally designed to cultivate conditions where an interest in the visual arts can be explored, developed and creativity tested; while remaining stimulating, demanding and supportive, it helps students in the transition from further to higher education and employment. IS THIS COURSE FOR ME? A career in art and design will lead towards a lifetime of experimentation, invention and discovery. If you have a strong feeling for a particular discipline, be it fine art, film, fashion or textiles, or know that you long to work with colour, line, form, shape and pattern and that you love to explore and experiment then a career in art and design could be for you.

What you need to get on

Students should have a minimum of 4 GCSEs at grade 4 or above, at least one of which should be in an art and design subject at a grade 6 or above (or the equivalent level 2 qualification in an appropriate subject). A grade 5 in English is also recommended.

How you are assessed

One subject in depth, assessed largely through coursework and projects.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
