ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
This advanced level course is suitable for people with Higher Art or with previous experience/good achievement in art and design from a non-advanced course. Intermediate 2 English or equivalent is also required.
WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?
This course is designed to allow students to experiment to an advanced level with Art and Design projects. Self generated projects are given so that students may specialise in one of the art and design areas in which they have been taught, to create a portfolio with regards to their chosen subject.
HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED?
This course is mainly assessed on a continuous basis and does not include an external end-of-course examination. Coursework takes the form of practical project work and visual presentation and written reports. College staff undertake most of the assessment of student work.
