THE NORTHERN SCHOOL OF ART SINCE 1874
Welcome The choice of where to study for a degree is one of life’s big questions, and it can be daunting. We recognise that there are rational and emotional elements to your decision-making. Rationally, will this degree provide me with what I need to achieve my ambitions? Much of this prospectus aims to provide answers to that question. However, at least as important from our perspective is whether you will enjoy your time with us and be happy. As a traditional School of Art we have a different atmosphere from many institutions. You’ll be surrounded by creative undergraduates and supportive staff who are often still practitioners. We’re keen to help you develop your own distinctive creative approach, and our staff will quickly get to know you and work with you. So if this prospectus has piqued your interest, please come to meet us at one of our Open Days to find out more. We’d love to begin to get to know you as a creative individual. Dr Martin Raby Principal and Chief Executive

FOR ART & DESIGN GRADUATE EMPLOYABILITY
96.6% in 2015
hartlepool.ccad.ac.uk
96.6% of 2015 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.

FRACTALS
Fractal shapes can be seen as being very familiar since nature itself is full of fractals, rivers, seashells, coastlines etc. There are also abstract fractals which can be created by repeating the same process or equations over and over again. As people are mostly only familiar with fractal art, the mathematical concert is difficult to define even for mathematicians, however key features can be understood with little mathematical background.
The concept of a self similar pattern for instance can be easily understood, imagine looking through a microscope and zooming in, and as you zoom in seeing the same (or similar) pattern be repeated over and over with nothing ever changing. With fractals however the pattern will not ever regress and will always be detailed.

BBC TV ITV Sheridan Design The Theatre Royal Newcastle Madame Tussauds London BCVFX LYO Theatre Leeds
Year one Year 1 introduces you to all the core skills of a professional modelmaker: Making processes and techniques, design thinking, and the essential function of the model as a form of communication. Previous assumptions about skills, methods, thought processes, and representation are challenged, reframed, and developed to build the necessary foundations for professional practice. Teaching seeks to move you swiftly from ‘rule-seeking behaviour’ to independent decision making. UG guide 2018-19
Year two In the second year you continue to develop your understanding of modelmaking as communication. Interpretation and representation are studied and practiced in a variety of different professional contexts. Year three In Year 3 you’ll work on more in-depth and complex studio projects and carry out a major theoretical piece of research. In the final year the direction of the course and of your decision making, is firmly towards the outside world as characterised by clients, the industry and audiences. As part of this however, there is a continuous process in which you are expected (through research and work experience) to ‘benchmark’ standards of performance, and to define, manage and meet your own personal standards of excellence.

When to apply
Your interview
Applicants are encouraged to apply before the ‘on-time application’ deadline of 15th January 2018. The UCAS application cycle will still be open after this date, but will depend on programme availability and consideration will be given first to those who make ‘on-time applications’.
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.
Taking a year out? Applicants who are thinking of taking a gap year before starting a degree with us can still apply by selecting ‘deferred entry’ on the UCAS application form. Deferred applicants are still advised to apply before 15th January. If successful, an offer will be given to start the following year. Anyone considering applying to the College is advised to visit one of the open days scheduled throughout the year. Alternatively, a bespoke tour can be arranged for those who are unable to make any of the open days. Applying to Foundation Diploma in Art & Design Applications for our Foundation Diploma are made directly to the College. Applicants can apply on-line or by completing a paper form found in our Further Education prospectus. The course starts in September and applications are open throughout the year. Applicants outside the UK If you are applying outside the UK, please refer to our updated guidance on our website by visiting http://hartlepool.ccad. ac.uk/apply/

Interview & Portfolio advice Portfolio 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. Your interview with us is intended to be relaxed and informal. 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.
A portfolio is individual to every student. Everyone will have their own individual styles and will have produced work in different ways, which we actively encourage. Your portfolio should be a visual representation of your creative identity and should include the following:
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.

Entry Requirements
Entry Requirements At CCAD, 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 applicant’s academic profile. Applicants are typically required to have the equivalent of 96 UCAS tariff points or more. Usually the majority of applicants will have successfully completed one of the following routes: • BTEC Extended Diploma • Foundation Studies in Art & Design • Access to HE • AVCE • A Levels • Level 0
The Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) process allows for applicants to demonstrate previous learning whether through self-directed study or professional experience. It is expected that all applicants will have a Level Two qualification (or equivalent) in literacy and numeracy. For mature applicants (i.e. 21+ years), emphasis will be placed on the portfolio review and interview session, which remains an important part of the selection procedure. UCAS Tariff Table The table below gives applicants an overview of the tariff points for the most popular courses studied by the majority of applicants:
Applicants with other qualifications are also welcome, as are applicants interested in transferring from other institutions.

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.
