AS/A2
PHOTOGRAPHY – ART & DESIGN
The
first course I have decided to do is the AS/A2 in Photography. I thought that
this would be a good course to do as it widens my knowledge on my specialism it
allows me to learn more techniques and become a better photographer. I also
think this would be a course for me as I already know a lot about the skills,
as I have already used many of them, so I will be able to just get on with it
and maybe even experiment with new techniques.
As this is a college course I will need 5 GCSEs at Grade C
including English Language and Maths at C+, and 3 GCSEs at Grade D+. A Grade C
or above in GCSE Art or a related subject, such as Media or Graphic Products is
required. I have checked my GCSE grades and would get in for this course.
As when I start this course I will be under 18 meaning that
the course would be free. This is defiantly something to consider as it is a
lot cheaper then a university course and it gives me a chance to widen my
knowledge and learn more.
I live locally so I would not need any residence as I can
travel in from home. This will also save me money as it means I will only have
to pay for transport to and from college, which is £500 a year.
They do offer bursaries if on low-income household or on benefits.
Though as my household doesn’t fall into this category then I am not entitled
to this so I have to pay for things such as materials, printing etc.

UAL
DIPLOMA IN ART & DESIGN – FOUNDATION STUDIES
This
course is the follow up of what I am doing right now. It is at university
level. I think it would be the
course for me as I know a lot about how it works already as it would be similar
to what I am doing now. Also think
it would be a good course for me as it allows a lot of different possibilities
in different subjects as well as expanding on what I have already learnt.
To do this course they ask for 5 GCSEs at C or above and
usually have studied at A2 level or have completed a BTEC or Extended Diploma
in Art and Design programme. Also when you go to the interview to get in they
ask for a portfolio of your work so they can see your work and the level that
you perform at.
This course is fairly cheap and will cost me £1649, £30
Caution and a studio fee. It’s a relative cheap course as the others start from
£5000 and go up. This is defiantly
something to consider, as it is a cheap course and a good way to expand on my
knowledge that I have gained from doing this course.
They do have places that you can stay and they vary from
college owned shared houses to renting a private shared student home. Though I
don’t think I would need any of these as I live near by and would only need to
pay for transport in and out of the college which would only cost £500 for the
year.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND DIGITAL ARTS – FOUNDATION DEGREE
I think this course would be a good course for me as it is
something new and concentrating on just one subject so that I can focus all my
energy on this one thing. Also as I am specialism this would give me a chance
to learn some new techniques and skills that I could take onto a new career.
This is a full time course and requires a minimum of 160 UCAS
tariff points and would probably want to see a portfolio so they know how you
work and what you know. I think this will be an ideal course for me as I know a
lot about photography already and with doing it as a specialism I will know evbbccfv
c cvvcfbvbven more techniques and this course will help with learning even
more.
To do this course there is a fee of £5995. This is cheap in
comparison to some of the courses that are provided in some universities, which
mean that not only am I getting a university level qualification but only
spending half the money. I would defiantly consider this as it gives me a
chance to expand my skills in photography at a higher level.

VRQ1 LEVEL 2 DIPLOMA PROFESSIONAL COOKERY - MICHAEL CAINES
ACADEMY
This is something completely different to the other courses I
have done but it gives me a chance to expand my create flare in another way. It
is a hobby that I would like to take to another level. As I can mix both the
creative flare I have and a passion for cooking.
As it is a college course they 3 GCSEs at Grade D or above including
Maths and English at D+. They also look to see that you are keen and are
interested in catering and have an aptitude for hospitality. I think that I
would get in for this course as I have worked in both a team and as an
individual and have the correct grades too.

the course that don’t come under the money you pay when you start the course.
