CCAD is all about pushing the boundaries of creativity, where students are both challenged and encouraged to promote individuality and innovation to their work.

Committed to achieving professionalism throughout their studies, our final year students fully embrace the opportunity to showcase their talent at this spectacular event.

The Degree Show The annual Degree Show, usually held at the end of the Summer term, always attracts a wide audience from the general public and the creative industries.

As well as the main exhibition, we also host fashion and costume catwalks, which are often presented by highly recognised individuals.

This exciting time of year provides the perfect opportunity for anyone who is thinking of studying here to see the scope and quality of art and design created by our latest graduates.

Whether you are an individual or want to make a group booking, please contact Student Recruitment on 01642 288 888 for venues, dates and times. Admission to the main exhibition is free.

How to apply All higher education applications are made online at www.ucas.ac.uk UCAS Customer Support: 0871 468 0 468 Applications to Foundation Diploma courses are made direct to the College.

When to apply UCAS will accept applications for September 2014 from as early as mid-June 2013. The deadline for on-time applications will be 15th January 2014, and you are encouraged to apply by this date. However, the UCAS application cycle will still be open after this date, depending on programme availability. Anyone considering applying to the College are encouraged to visit during an open event, or a personalised tour can be arranged. Dates for open events can be found at: www.ccad. ac.uk/undergraduate-courses/he-open-events

What next After we receive your UCAS form, an interview will be arranged, which enables you to see the outstanding facilities, meet our staff and current students and view the latest work. It provides us with an opportunity to discuss your portfolio, find out more about you and establish the best degree route for you. We will also send you a special invitation to our annual degree shows, as well as essential information on student accommodation options. If you are applying outside the UK we will contact you via email (where possible), therefore you should provide a valid email address on your UCAS application form. We acknowledge it may not be feasible to attend an interview at the College. In such cases we will accept a telephone or Skype interview after the successful review of your portfolio. To find out more about the application process, please visit: www.ccad.ac.uk/undergraduatecourses/how-to-apply You can also contact the admissions team on: 01642 288 888 studentrecruitment@ccad.ac.uk

Entry requirements We treat all applications on their own merit and welcome anyone who has the ability and aspirations to achieve at higher education. Therefore, we take into account all aspects of an application and not just an applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic profile. A typical offer is 240 UCAS tariff points for all programmes. Usually the majority of students will have successfully completed one of the following routes: BTEC Extended National Diploma, Foundation Studies in Art & Design, AVCE, A Levels or other comparable level qualifications. CCAD also welcomes applications from a wide selection of qualification backgrounds and/ or relevant experience. For mature applicants, emphasis will be placed on their portfolio and interview, which remains an important part of the selection procedure. It is expected that all students will have a Level 2 qualification in English. Where appropriate, a conditional offer of a place will be made in terms of a tariff score.

The Application Interview preparation

Portfolio advice

During interview, significant emphasis is placed on evidence of 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 a guidance sheet with your interview letter.

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 they demonstrate your skills, interests and key strengths.

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 about this review session 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. We want to make sure we find the best programme 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.
