Course programme

Summary

Students choose from several pathways for their Level 3 Diploma and Extended Diploma; deciding to study either: 3D Spatial Design, Fine Art, Photography, Digital Art, Animation and Games Design, Fashion Textiles, Graphics and Illustration or Art & Design.

All students on the listed pathways work towards the University of the Arts London (UAL) Level 3 Diploma in Art and Design in their first year of study; progressing onto their University of the Arts London (UAL) Level 3 Extended Diploma in Art and Design in their second year. The Extended Diploma at Distinction level is allocated 168 UCAS points, which is equivalent to 3 full A Levels at grade A*.

The course is particularly appropriate for school leavers who have an interest in using their traditional art skills to create interactive products. You will develop your creativity through a range of media, starting with drawing and mixed media experimental work combining digital and traditional art techniques. You will then progress through a range of project based practical units that cover digital painting, concept art, image manipulation, animation, 3D modelling, games development, web and app design. The innovation and responsive curriculum encourages your individual creativity and interests, giving you the skillset to progress to further study at higher education level. You will be taught in our digital PC studio with access to Wacom tablets, scanners, video/audio recorders, animation suites and a wide range of industry standard software.

The course covers 8 units:

Introduction to visual language in art & design
Introduction to research skills in art & design
Introduction to materials
Processes and technical skills
Introduction to critical and contextual awareness in art & design
An integrated approach to 2D problem solving
An integrated approach to 3D problem solving

Additional information

Progression Successful completion of 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 will allow you to further extend your learning by choosing an alternative Creative Arts pathway in your second year. For example, provided that you meet the entry requirements, you could follow the Digital Art, Animation and Games Design pathway in your first year and then choose to follow the 3D Spatial Design, Photography, Digital Art, Fashion Textiles, Art & Design or Graphics and Illustration pathway in your 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.
