Course code:AQA 7242 /AQA 7202
Subject Specific Entry Requirements • To achieve at least grade C or above in either Art or Textiles
at GCSE.
What will you learn? • This exciting new AS course brings together Painting,
Printmaking and Sculpture. Through experimental mini-
projects in each area, students have the opportunity to
develop a range of sophisticated skills and ideas in order to
build up a portfolio of work. The course is also reinforced
by an Art historical context that hopes to challenge the
students through different ways of thinking about and
making work. Life drawing and gallery visits also form an
important part of the course. There are few schools that
can offer such a range of activities taught by specialists in
each field. It complements the other Visual Art A Levels but
is also ideal as a single Art subject. It is an excellent course
for those considering further education in the Arts, and the
strengths of the department are well known by many Art
colleges.
• You should have a passion in Art and an interest in visual
culture and the curiosity to learn more. You should enjoy
looking at other artists’ work and exploring your own
ideas and experimenting with different ways of working to
achieve your personal goals.

be used as starting points. Students are required to select
one. Students will be provided with examination papers on 1
February, or as soon as possible after that date.
Next StepsThe majority of students progress to study A Level Fine Art
after AS Fine Art.
Students can (as with other A Level courses) use their points
from this A Level to go on to university. This is also an ideal
course for those wishing to go on to further education
on to an Art Foundation Course (advised) or direct entry
to university. Students regularly gain places on the most
prestigious Foundation courses such as Farnham, Epsom and
Camberwell.
Career InformationCareers include any art related industries: the media, galleries,
design, architecture, teaching, as well as being an artist!

Next stepsHistory A Level is a rigorous qualification which prepares
students well for the demands of a university degree because
it trains students in their ability to conduct independent
research, select and deploy data and write concise and
effective essays. It is valuable for students who wish to
study directly related degrees but also shows breadth when
applying for courses such as medicine and law.
Careers informationIn practice, only a few students enter careers in which they
apply their specialist historical knowledge directly (eg.
research degrees, teaching, museum or archive work, and
librarianship). The majority apply their skills to careers not
directly related to History, but in which they have much to
contribute. These include journalism and the arts, computing,
finance, banking, accountancy, the legal profession,
commercial and industrial management, the civil and public
services, retailing, leisure services, health and social services,
charities, voluntary organisations, the police, the probation
service, the armed forces, the security services.
Extra costsThe department has textbooks for use in school but it is
advisable for students to buy their own copies of the core
textbooks (two books, approximately. £23 each, less for digital
versions).
We offer a range of enrichment activities over the two years.
