The Art and Design with Communication UAL Diploma (and Extended Diploma) Level 3 is a creative and practical course.
It is the perfect course for you if you are an aspiring artist, designer, and innovator ready to explore a wide range of art and design disciplines. You will work on exciting briefs that incorporate interior design, fine art, and elements of architecture, while developing your skills across different materials, techniques, and processes.
Throughout the course, you will receive regular feedback to support your progress and build a strong, individual creative voice. In the second year of the Extended Diploma, you will undertake a Final Major Project where you choose your own focus, building on what you have already learned.
The full qualification is equivalent to 3 A levels and prepares you for university, employment, or apprenticeships. Our tutors will help you to create a standout portfolio and support your UCAS application. Our previous students have progressed into fields such as fine art, interior design, illustration, product design, and spatial or 3D design.
This qualification is officially the UAL Awarding Body Level 3 Diploma and Extended Diploma in Creative Practice: Art, Design and Communication.

What you could study next
A University of the Arts London Extended Diploma in the same subject area takes your studies further and strengthens your portfolio for higher education applications. From there, a BA (Hons) in Fine Art, Graphic Design, Interior Design, or a related subject at a UK university or art school is the natural next step. Foundation Diplomas in Art and Design are also worth considering as a bridge into specialist degree programmes.
