Overview

The Access to Higher Education Diploma Art and Design is designed for adults age 19+ who are aiming to progress onto undergraduate and higher diploma courses in art related subjects.

The course content includes a balance of units which allow the learners to keep their options open until they have fully decided on their preferred route at degree level.

Am I right for the course?

You will be over 19 years and have been out of formal education for one year.

It is suitable for adults who have gone straight into industry who wish to progress to Higher Education or those who because of social, educational or individual circumstances may have achieved few, if any, prior qualifications and wish to progress to Higher Education.

Access to HE is an intensive course and it is important that you understand the commitment. We will ask you to complete initial assessments in English and maths. We would expect you to be able to demonstrate that you are working at Level 1 in maths and Level 2 in English (GCSE level).

Each unit is assessed through an assignment. This may be a piece of written work, controlled assessment or presentation. Most units are graded pass, merit or distinction. On completion the numbers of passes, merits and distinctions may be used to calculate a UCAS Tariff. Universities will generally set a target for merits / distinctions or a Tariff.

You may take one GCSE/ Functional Skills (English or maths) alongside the main programme. If you need these qualifications it is best to talk to one of the Access Team.

Oaklands College has a team of experienced and specialist subject staff who have industry experience and deliver the teaching and learning on the programme. In addition there is a dedicated team of personal tutors who will help you develop your study skills and support you in reaching your full academic potential.
