What can I do next?

This can lead to further or higher education, ranging from multi-disciplinary degrees to 3D model making, fine art and many other options. Employment opportunities include junior design work, fine art practice and photographic practice.

What are the entry requirements?

You will need five GCSEs grades A-C or a BTEC 1st Diploma at Merit and a strong portfolio of work.
