A Level Photography (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.
