Course programme

Evening Access to Higher Education Art & Design

Two evenings a week - Thursdays and Tuesdays 6 - 9pm

This exciting twice-weekly evening course caters for students returning to education. Previous qualifications or art experience are not essential, you'll be on a well-established route to a wide range of degree-level art and design courses - ideal for those starting their first careers as well as those looking for a career change.

Your fellow students will be adults of all ages, and will include people with a huge variety of experience, skills and abilities. This rich mixture of students provides a supportive atmosphere where you learn from one another as well as from course tutors.

Support in Progressing to a Higher Education course

We will help you build your portfolio, select a suitable course and write a personal statement for application. Our staff have expertise in helping students progress after the Access course.

Summer School

There will be an opportunity to go on visits to galleries, museums and sculpture parks.

Assessment

Assessment is replaced by a system of evaluation, which will involve you in the process. At the end of each module you will hand work in, together with your own written observations; the course tutor then gives written feedback on this.

Progression & career opportunities

We have an excellent record of success in helping students achieve their ambitions. In recent years, students wanting to progress to degree-level study have all won places on Higher Education courses of their choice, including highly competitive local and national courses. Some of these students progress to degree or foundation degree courses here at the College.
