Victoria Iddon, Art & Design Level 3 Extended Diploma There is no pressure to follow a certain route; you can focus your projects around your strengths and interests. And the facilities are amazing. You get a personal work space in the workshop to work on your pieces and display them. The equipment available is great too!
Melissa Heyes, Art & Design Level 3 Extended Diploma I chose Southport College as they had the best Art and Design department with the best facilities. I’ve really enjoyed how I’ve grown as an artist throughout the course. I’ve learnt new techniques that I never thought I would like and see a lot more things as art now. The staff have also been great and pushed me to achieve the highest grades I could. Next year I am going to UCLAN to study Fine Art and in the future I’d like to become a secondary school Art teacher.
