Qualification Level:

RQF Level 7

Requirements:

You should have at least one year's full-time, or the equivalent in part-time hours, 1,500 hours' relevant work experience prior to application. You should also have an undergraduate degree of at least second class standard in visual arts/design, or in a related/relevant area, or a professional qualification. Art graduates may come from any area of the visual arts, including applied crafts. We accept graduates who may have studied a combined subject degree course such as art/psychology or art/sociology as long as they are not entirely theoretically based, but contain a substantial amount of actual studio practice. Examples of other approved subjects could be psychology, social science, and social anthropology - generally, subjects that are concerned with human behaviour, development and relationships. Such non-art graduates must demonstrate a long-standing commitment to and ability to practice in some form of visual art. With this in mind, if you're a non-art graduate you must send photographs or slides of a representative selection of personal artwork with your application. If you are offered a place you will need to fulfill the fitness to train criteria and undertake personal therapy whilst on the progragramme.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
