Access to Higher Education


in Art & Design Diploma


The aim of the course is to open doors to higher education study for applicants who do not have the specific A Level qualification pre-requisites or vocational equivalents that would normally be needed to enter a degree programme.


There are many reasons why this course may suit you; you may be a student who has completed some qualifications and can show the right level of skill and maturity for this programme, you may be a mature applicant and have not studied A Levels but possess a wealth of work and experience in art or design, you may have decided on a change of career or study direction and have qualifications in others subject areas or you may just feel that you can use this course to consolidate or enhance your subject knowledge.


You will need to be self-disciplined and you will be encouraged and supported to attempt to find your own distinct approach to your studentship. This will of course be done with encouragement and you will be supported at all stages of your development. You will be expected to explore unfamiliar and sometimes uncomfortable concepts and ideas. New materials and techniques will be offered to enhance your artistic toolbox. You will need to make yourself aware of contemporary trends in all areas of the arts, literature, film, theatre, music and the broadcast media. You will also explore the historical contexts out of which the contemporary arts have developed.


The Access to Higher Education Diploma in Art and Design can be studied both as a full-time or part-time course dependent upon your personal circumstances and commitments to work and family.
