Photography is an art-based course and is assessed through its creative content. Students are taught how to use a digital SLR camera and how to manipulate images in Photoshop, a digital program designed specifically for photography. Students are required to submit one unit of coursework within a portfolio of work. There is also an examination project which begins in February of the second year and ends at the beginning of May. Students will be able to borrow a digital SLR camera, however, it is strongly recommended that students have access to either a digital SLR or compact camera.
To study A-Level courses, a student must secure five Grade 5s at GCSE (or vocational course Distinctions), including either English or Maths. To study a specific A-Level course, a student must secure at least a Grade 6 in that subject (or a similar specified subject/s). Please see individual course requirements.
Component 1 - The Coursework Portfolio and Personal Investigation is worth 60% of your overall grade. It is marked on a regular basis throughout the course, in order to allow students to develop work to overcome any shortfall in their submission. Component 2 - an examination project worth 40% is taken in May of the second year.
