The Graphics A Level uses the EDUQAS syllabus which encourages a broad approach that allows students to develop a sound grounding in several graphic design areas. It is able to accommodate particular areas of interest that you may wish to pursue. As part of the course content there is an experimental unit where students will try such techniques as screen, mono and polyboard printing, lino cutting, embroidery, marbling, pyrography, bleach and sunography printing, portraiture and animation. This will lead on to a Personal Investigation allowing students to do a major project based on a hobby or interest of their own. A final exam board set project completes the course.
- GCSE Graphic Design or Art grade 4 pass is usually required for taking the A Level course, students that can demonstrate the necessary skills will also be considered - 6 x grade 4 GCSEs in a range of subjects to include English and Maths
Assessment by Portfolio and final exam at the end of Year 13.
