The students on the UAL Extended Diploma Graphic Design at The Northern School of Art work on a variety of styles of projects including live briefs with highly-regarded industry contacts. The course is designed to be responsive to the latest developments in the design industry, as well as offer opportunities for students to react creatively to current issues around the world. Successful completion of the UAL Extended Diploma Graphic Design course will give the skills and qualifications required to progress into a range of degree courses, such as: • graphic design & communication. • illustration. • textiles. • surface design. Some of our students also go directly into the industry. On this course, you get the chance to gain work experience through live projects, as well as through the good relationships the course team has with local design industry contacts. The official title of this course is UAL Extended Diploma in Art and Design and this is what will be printed on the certificate at the end of the course. It has the equivalent UCAS points to that of studying three A-levels. The awarding body for this course is UAL: University of the Arts London Awarding Body.
