CERT HE Multidisciplinary in Art & Design (CertHE)
- Jobs Well Campus – Carmarthen School of Art
This is a very flexible and exciting way to study where the learner can develop their own course from the areas of art and design that interest them.
A recent addition to our portfolio of university level programmes is the certificate of higher education.
This is a level four stand alone qualification that is basically the first year of our degree programmes. The course will enable those students who are unable to commit to studying for a full BA Honours degree to have an understanding of, and learn the basic skills required in their chosen subject.
The multidisciplinary in art and design course enables students to develop their own bespoke course, selecting a combination of modules chosen from two of our specialist degrees targeting their own specific talents and interests. For example, sculpture and digital illustration; fashion and textiles; ceramics and jewellery and photography.
