Additional information

Progression Successfully completing the Level 3 Diploma in Art & Design will provide direct entry onto the Level 3 Extended Diploma in Art & Design in the second year. The design and structure of the University of the Arts London (UAL) Level 3 Diploma in Art & Design allows students the opportunity to further extend their learning by choosing an alternative Creative Arts pathway in their second year. For example, providing entry requirements are met, a student could follow the Art & Design pathway in their first year and then choose to follow the 3D Spatial Design, Fine Art, Photography, Digitial Art, Animation & Games Design, Fashion Textiles or Graphics Illustration pathway in their second year. This multi-disciplinary route is becoming increasingly popular with our students who recognise that they need a broad portfolio of skills to thrive in the creative sector.
