96% of 2014 CCAD graduates were in employment or further study 6 months after graduation. The creative sector is the UK’s flagship industry – as a nation we are world famous for our designers, artists and film makers. This is reflected in the scale and growth of the sector in recent decades – the creative economy employs 2.2 million people and has grown year on year through the recession. By 2022 the sector will need 1.2m new workers.
It is an industry that depends on its graduate skills – 58.8% of jobs in the sector are at least graduate level (compared to 31.8% in the wider economy) – by 2022 it will need 900,000 graduates to keep pace with demand.

Contextual studies
The College’s delivery of Contextual Studies is a successful and innovative part of our art and design curriculum, incorporating the histories of visual and material culture, and the theories involved in reading creativity as visual language. This will inform your studio practice, and inspire you to link critical thinking skills to the meaning of your studio work. Studio modules are underpinned and informed by critical studies in visual and material culture. Through focused lectures and seminars, you will study the histories and theories of creativity, ranging from issues in art, architecture and religion, to the cultural context of youth culture, design and sustainability, and the gendered image. Assignments in essay writing and research projects will prepare you for the focused dissertation in your third year (Level Six), and the advanced research skills gained through your studies in contextual studies modules can be applied throughout the curriculum and in your future career.
Design Study Archive Our Design Study Archive is a central research point for critical studies and for inspiration within the studio. Over the last decade, the college has invested in this valuable resource, which is used by both staff and students. The collection includes clothes from the 19th and 20th centuries, bound copies of The Studio magazine from 1890-1960, packaging design, ceramics from 1890-2010, and an enviable collection of Japanese kimono, textiles, and decorative arts.

Extended Study Route
Extended Study Route UCAS Code: W453 UCAS Tariff: Under 96 Duration: One year The aim of the Extended Study Route is to enhance your potential to achieve and to prepare you for undergraduate study by providing a Preparatory Year before progressing to first year of a degree (Level 4). The Preparatory Year is the first year of a fouryear BA (Hons) degree programme and enables you to develop the experience and skills required to progress to Level 4 of your chosen specialist discipline. It gives you the time you need to become more confident and independent as a learner, and to develop your specialist skills and creative practice. Essentially, the Preparatory Year aims to develop your ability to think outside of the box, to challenge your perceptions about the world around you, and to promote a motivated, committed and independent approach to learning through working individually and with others to achieve your individual aims. It is a practical, studio-based learning experience that encourages you to think critically and conceptually, and to nurture an understanding and awareness of the contextual issues that shape and define art and design and your specialist subject area. You will work in a variety of ways to develop your ability in
generating and exploring original ideas and concepts through research, experimentation and problem-solving. You will also become more confident in making decisions about your work through reflection and evaluation, and the analysis of feedback. This is an exciting and stimulating opportunity to develop your individual interests and ways of thinking and looking through research, drawing and visual exploration, which are essential skills in developing original ideas for further investigation. You will learn how to plan, manage and present projects, to initiate and negotiate your own learning, and to link theoretical knowledge and research with creative practice. Practical investigation in studios and workshops will enable you to work with a range of materials, equipment, techniques and processes to inform creative production and technical competence. Successful completion of the Extended Study Route Preparatory Year enables you to progress to first year (Level Four) of your specialist degree without the need for a further interview. Student loan funding is available to students who study the Extended Study Route on any of our degree programmes.
Please note: You can apply for any of our degree programmes and we may make an offer for you to study Extended Study Route if we feel that this will be the most appropriate course for you at the time of application.

About us Cleveland College of Art & Design (CCAD) or Government School of Art as it was then called was first opened in Church Street Atheneum, Hartlepool in 1874. In 1897, it moved to the top floor of Lauder Street Technical College where it remained until moving in 1939 to the Church Square School. The College remained there until the building was completely destroyed by fire in 1966. The new College of Art and Design opened on the same Church Square site in 1968 where it remains to this day – a true School of Art in every sense of the word.

Offering a unique, culturally rich experience, Hartlepool offers such contrasts in the landscapes – from seascapes to industry – it is a place so steeped in creative opportunity that we can track back to the first Mayor of (West) Hartlepool in 1887 being a successful draper. Hartlepool, as a town, has changed dramatically over the last 140 years, but one thing has remained integral throughout this time– its art school. The resilience and robustness of the institution on its journey through changing trends, economies and distinctive art practices is instilled in all learners as they embark on their creative journey from scholar to creative industry professional.

Hartlepool The name ‘Hartlepool’ was derived from ‘harts’ (deers or stags), which are symbolised throughout the town and ‘le pool’ which means by the sea. Our university level campus is located in the innovation and skills quarter, with an art gallery, a range of places to eat and drink, and all are within the town centre. Hartlepool offers creative students stunning contrasts in landscape which are steeped in history and visual opulence. Our students feedback to us that they benefit from the seascapes, Victorian architecture, industrial landscapes and nature reserves which provides them with great visuals for their portfolios.
The town offers the largest marina in the North East which berths up to 500 boats and is the setting for superb restaurants, cafés, bars and pubs offering a varied selection of food and drink. Linked to the Marina is Hartlepool’s Maritime Experience, home of HMS Trincomalee and the Royal Navy Museum of the North. Train and road connections are exceptional, giving you easy access to exciting cities and towns such as Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Durham, Sunderland and other major parts of the country, including a direct train to London.

Interview advice This is your opportunity to evidence your visual and creative ability in the form of a portfolio of work. You are required to bring a portfolio for any programme applied for as part of the interview. To help you prepare for this we send all applicants a useful guide with the interview confirmation letter. At interview you will be asked general questions regarding your application to us, some questions about yourself, your inspirations and aspirations. This may include information about artists or designers that you admire, and what it is about their work that inspires you. If in doubt, you can tell us about artists you have studied at college.
The most important thing is to be yourself; the idea behind your interview is to show us the kind of things you are interested in and for us to see how passionately you talk about your work. It is also an opportunity for you to ask us questions, as we want to make sure you find the best degree route to suit you. Finally, dress as you would dress if you were a student here; we don’t expect you to come dressed for a job interview.
hartlepool.ccad.ac.uk
Portfolio advice A portfolio is individual to every student; therefore, it is difficult to tell you exactly what it should consist of. Everyone will have their own individual styles and will have produced work in different ways, which we actively encourage. Examples of your work can be either complete or ‘work in progress’ – as long as it demonstrates your skills, interests and key strengths.
