What the college says
This A Level course offers the opportunity to use a range of traditional and mixed media techniques alongside computer generated imagery. You will be expected to engage with complex design problems and to arrive at solutions that promote, publicise, inform, persuade and entertain. Outcomes are varied and student-led: from rebranding a shop or cafe, to designing an album cover, to producing the publicity for a festival or the packaging for your favourite product, the choice is yours.
What you need to get on
A minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 4 (grade C) or above, including English. One creative GCSE such as Art & Design or Art Technology would be helpful but not essential. Mature students may apply with a portfolio of work for consideration.
How you are assessed
Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.
