UAL Level 2 Award in Art & Design (Pre-Access and Adult)
The UAL Level 2 Award in Art and Design has been developed to provide adults with an interest in art and design with the opportunity to explore the materials, methods and processes that support art and design activities, and to begin to develop some related technical skills.
This could be adults who would like to possibly pursue a career in Art and Design and want to take the first step or want to undertake an Art and Design course that they will achieve a qualification (not a full cost Art School course).
It is also designed for adults who have applied or are thinking of applying for the Level 3 Access to HE (Art and Design) course and want to undertake a ‘transition’ course prior to this.
Entry requirements
There are no formal entry requirements, but a basic knowledge of the techniques and processes would be advantageous.
