Entry Requirements

Students are expected to have engaged with and completed High School, or a diverse home school education. However this course is also great for students who have had an interupted education and want to re-engage and achieve the qualifications needed for their future career.

How You Will Be Assessed

The UAL Level 1 Award in Art, Design and Media is coursework based. It is all practical and hands on, with written work directly linked to the art you are creating.

You will be assessed at either Pass or Fail against the following two Units:
Unit 1 Introduction to materials, processes and skills in art, design and media
Unit 2 Introduction to contextual research in art, design and media

Course Progression

Students who successfully complete the Level 1 Award will normally progress onto our Level 1 Diploma in Art & Design. Students that excel on the Level 1 Award may also have the opportunity to progress directly to our Level 2 Art & Deasign Diploma.
