What you need to get on

To join the course, applicants should be aged 19 or above and have a genuine enthusiasm for creative problem-solving and design. We normally expect GCSE English at grade 4/C or higher, but if you don?t have this, you may be asked to complete a short internal assessment so we can ensure you?re ready for the reading, writing, and research elements of the programme. A strong portfolio is valuable, but you do not need to be professionally trained.
