This is a highly exciting, creative and successful course. Over the last number of years, on average over 90% of participants have gained an A* or A grade. It is therefore one of the most successful Graphics A Level courses in the Country. Many previous students have gained places at Russell group or Oxbridge Universities. Undergraduate courses value the contrast it brings to other subjects and the inherent creative problem solving it develops. Students will develop practical skills as well as developing knowledge and understanding of Graphic Design and Communication, Culture, Art history, social issues and the work and preoccupations of other designers, multidisciplinary artists and craftspeople. Projects, skills and themes are taught yet self-directed which allows students to develop their own creative voice and enables independent study and ownership of work. Projects are wide reaching and extend Cultural Capital knowledge, which is shared across the teaching group.
A minimum of five full GCSEs or equivalent at grades 9–5, which would include both English (Language or Literature) and Mathematics, with three of the passes at grade 6 or above. A GCSE in Art would be preferable.
Component 1: Coursework Practical work and Personal study. 60% of the total A Level. Internally assessed Component 2: Externally Set Assignment. 40% of the total A Level. Internally assessed
