About this course

Level 1 Art, Design and Media Course in Redhill. Classes run at East Surrey College, full-time over 34 weeks.

The course is a broad introduction to creative media. You'll explore moving image, sound, music, games design, photography, and animation. Units cover materials and processes, contextual research, communication skills, and solving creative problems in 2D, 3D, and time-based formats. You'll need four GCSEs at grade 2 or above, including English and Maths, though the college considers applications on a case-by-case basis.

You'll finish with a University of the Arts London Award in Art, Design and Media.
