FURTHER INFORMATION
To start at this level you need at least 2 GCSEs at grade 2 (F) or above, preferably including English and maths, and a portfolio of your creative work.
Your portfolio of work must show your interest and enthusiasm for the subject area. You may be expected to talk about a favourite artist or designer, a piece of art work which has inspired you, or how you have developed your ideas.
You will be required to bring sketch books, evidence of research and observational drawings, examples of developmental work, as well as some final pieces. We are also interested in looking at work you have completed in your own time, your hobbies and any work experience you have completed.
This course prepares you to go on to a more advanced course such as the UAL Level 2 Diploma in Art & Design, or UAL Level 2 Diploma in Creative Media.
Successful completion of a Level 2 course can lead onto study at Level 3 and then onto university, employment or an apprenticeship.
