What the college says

How do you recognise your favourite brand in the supermarket? Why is one building so much more interesting than another? Why is Mario such an enduring computer game character? How do you distinguish one app from another on your phone or PC? Ever wondered why Roald Dahl books are instantly recognisable? If so, this could be the course for you. All of these products have been created by a professional working in the Graphics industry. This course is specifically designed for those of you wishing to follow in their footsteps.

What you need to get on

A Level candidates will need to be good thinkers and hard workers. We expect our students to demonstrate and develop qualities of autonomous thought, perseverance and self-confidence. Grade 5 in GCSE in Graphics or Art will be desirable (although not critical in all cases). Minimum grade 4 in English is required.

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.
