A Levels
A Level Art & Design (EDEXCEL)
HEAD OF DEPARTMENT: Mr A Gray ([email protected])
Entry Requirements Grade B in GCSE Art or equivalent. A Level students who are focused on a future path within
the creative industries can choose to study more than one creative A Level. However, it is not
possible to study both Photography and Graphic Communication and students would be
required to make a choice between those two disciplines. We would also strongly recommend
that all students choosing a creative A Level should have GCSE experience in a creative subject.
Where next? Students who study this subject may move on to study Industrial Design, Art Foundation and a
Degree in Fine Arts, Graphics, Architecture, Illustration, Photography and Film.
