Previous candidates have achieved direct entry onto Further Education courses such as Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Product and Transport Design and Fine Art.

Past students have won the LTI National Taxi design competition and have had their work displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Museum. Course overview. This is a fully-flexible qualification which will allow you to follow a broad, open course, or to specialise in one or more of the endorsed titles. AS students have to produce one unit of coursework concluding with a ten hour controlled assessment.
