Informed by employers in the creative industries and some of Europes top creative higher education institutions, this course looks at the relationship between creative disciplines and how they work together in real-world contexts.
The course allows for extensive experimentation and development of ideas from across the art and design spectrum to be used in graphic design, photography, art or fashion/textiles. Starting broadly in year one there is an opportunity to engage in specialist areas in year two. A dynamic mixture of industry briefs and challenging creative problems allows you to build an exciting portfolio, leaning towards an area of specialism. You will be introduced to visual language, research skills, critical and contextual awareness, materials, processes and technical skills, as well as audience engagement. These are all skills required by employers in the creative industries and the top universities.
Topics as appropriate to individual pathways may include:
Your practical studio-based experience is enriched through a stimulating programme of residential trips and visits. Previous groups have visited New York, St Ives, London and European destinations. Work placements and work readiness take place throughout the course to ensure you are ready to progress your studies or enter the workplace.
You are continually assessed through practical and written assignments, a practical exam and external moderation. Your progress is monitored by tutorials and seminars.
On successful completion, you could start our Foundation Diploma in Art & Design pre degree programme or head straight to university to study a degree in subjects such as textiles, interior design, photography, architecture, game design, animation, illustration, graphic design, fine art, education, set design, media makeup, costume design or applied arts. Some of these options are available at our own University Centre Somerset. Alternatively, you could find employment at junior level or a Creative Apprenticeship in areas such as display, the clothing and fashion industry, graphic design and community arts or events promotion.

My animation skills have improved greatly since I have been learning at BTC. The College uses specialist software such as Adobe Animate and the equipment we use is the same that is used in industry. Alongside my course I am a member of the BTC Animation Academy where we do even more animation and enter competitions.
