The Extended National Diploma is a well established programme which develops skills and awareness in Art and Design and leads to opportunities in Higher Education in your chosen pathway.
The course is made up of 18 units which cover wider skills and experiences in Art and Design, within the first year, followed by units within your own chosen specialist area. The units are taught and experienced through project based work to enable you to develop your skills and pursue your own interests within your chosen area. Functional skills are followed by all students on this programme.
Following the interdisciplinary programme during the first year, you can choose your prefered route for the second part of the course. This will enable you to pursue your own area of interest, leading to progression to Higher Education or possibly employment in your chosen area.
