Students who intend to go onto a degree course in Art often take a year-long Art Foundation course after A-Levels, such as the one offered at Cardinal Newman. Students have progressed to places at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), The University of Leeds and Central Saint Martins, London. Others have applied directly onto the following courses, Fine Art & Architecture at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), Architecture at Newcastle University, Liverpool Hope University and University College London (UCL), Printed Textiles at Bath Spa University, Product Design at UCLAN and Automotive Design at Aston University.

AQA

At least five 5s at GCSE, including at least a 5 in GCSE Art. Creative GCSE Design Technology subjects including Textiles, Graphic Design and Resistant Materials may be considered. Progression to the course via this route will be subject to an interview with a portfolio of artwork.

Have you considered studying a Mixed Programme (A-Levels and Btecs) Whether you’re on target to achieve five 5s in your GCSEs or not there may still be an option to study A-Levels alongside a BTEC qualification at Newman.
