What the college says

This course offers students a personalized approach to developing specialist skills and a depth of understanding of visual arts. It suits those who have enjoyed the study of Art at GCSE and wish to further their creative skills and understanding of visual communication. It develops a range of practical artistic skills, the ability to work through a process and produce a finished product, and to analyse artists' work. These creative and lateral thinking qualities are sought after in many career fields with the A Level being valued on most degree courses. It is highly recommended for those considering degrees and careers in creative, visual, media and design areas with students going to study Architecture, Digital Graphics, Video and Film.

What you need to get on

We will require at least a grade 6 in GCSE Art or, in exceptional circumstances, a suitable portfolio of work. You will be expected to further your knowledge and appreciation by visiting art galleries and exhibitions in your own time as well as undertaking research as part of the course. Non-RLS students without Art GCSE need to indicate on the application form that they have such a portfolio if needed for inspection.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

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.
