What the college says

If you’re completely new to art and design but would like to get stuck in straight away, this introductory, Level 1 Diploma is the ideal place to begin. It’s designed to develop a foundation of practical skills and knowledge in art and design, helping you to progress onto higher levels of study. You’ll get to work on a diverse range of creative assignments, covering areas such as animation, print, fashion, photography and mixed media. Some projects will include live briefs, giving you the chance to work directly with employers and develop first hand experience. As part of the course, you’ll also develop a host of essential study skills that will help you through any subject or future employment, including how to research effectively, how to think creatively, how to manage your time, and how to work well in a team. As with nearly all of our creative qualifications, this Diploma is awarded by University of the Arts London Awarding Body - the only specialist creative arts awarding body in the UK.
