You may have very few official lectures often once a week followed by seminars– you will prepare with readings, summaries etc. beforehand. Guest lectures are usually exceptionally good.

Last year 100 students took this pathway, often studying at Brighton Met City College or Northbrook.

Joining a Visual Arts tutor group in A2 to support them in their applications, this helps them explore the wide variety of arts degrees available.

Arts universities such as Falmouth, Bournemouth and Norwich specialise in Visual Arts courses. In addition, 7 students chose direct entry to Photography degrees.
