Level 3 UAL Diploma in Creative Practice: Art, Design & Communication

The UAL Level 3 Diploma in Creative Practice: Art, Design and Communication is perfect for students looking to pursue a specialist career in the creative industries. It has been designed to provide a strong foundation for progressing to a broad range of creative subjects at further and higher education, or creative apprenticeships.

Your course will be delivered through a series of projects, allowing you to learn lots of new skills and giving you the opportunity to work independently to a brief from the outset. The projects have a vocational setting such as working on a marketing campaign or creating work for an exhibition. Some of the projects are for real clients; this gives you valuable professional practice and real work skills.

Projects include:

• the creative process
• developing creative practice
• responding to a set brief.

You will mostly be working in the art and design studios, sometimes you may be working in the photography studio or in one of our Mac suites and you may get the opportunity to work off-site on a project, with real clients. You will meet artists and visit galleries, as well as exhibiting your final design project at the end-of-year showcase. In the past students have spent time at the Aspex gallery; meeting artists, learning about progression options in a gallery setting and exhibiting their work.

Students have enjoyed visits to galleries and exhibitions including the V&A Museum, Tate Modern and Saatchi Gallery. At the end of their studies, students exhibit their work at the our creative showcase, an event designed to celebrate creative work from all areas of the College.
