Art and Design (Extended Diploma)

Course structure

• Before you start

  You may be required to complete an activity before you start in order to help introduce you to the subject. Check back in the summer term for more details.

   

• Year 1

  In year one you will work on a flexible introductory core programme of visual studies, integrated individual and group projects and workshop practice in both 2D and 3D of which drawing is an integral part. Contextual studies, information technology and professional practice also form a vital part of the course. This will culminate in a final project which will be exhibited in the College.

• Year 2

  During your second year you will select a pathway in which to specialise from any of the units covered (Painting, sculpture, graphic design, illustration, 3D design, fashion and textiles, photography or animation) and produce a final major project. Within this, research and development and a written statement of intentions are important elements. Work is internally assessed at the end of each unit and externally moderated.

• Life after Henley

  The final unit of the qualification is available at Level 4 to support
  progression to higher education. Some learners may choose to progress to
  the UAL Level 3 or Level 4 Diploma in Foundation Studies - Art & Design.

  Last year, students went on to various destinations including University of Brighton, University College Birmingham, University of Southampton, Cardiff Metropolitan and University of the Arts, London.
