Huddersfield Uni event

A2 students - applied to Huddesrfield Uni ? Why not pop to see their latest exhibition ? 

PROUD POST ALERT !

It must be something in the air as the University offers keep rolling in for our A2 Graphics students ! So far all students who have had interviews have gained offers with Congratulations going to Tom & Lewis both being given unconditional offers for 3D design at MMU & Animation at Salford Uni. 

York St John & Huddersfield Uni have offered places on their Graphic Design degree whilst Games Design offers have been given from Salford, Future Works & Sheffield Hallam . 

Many more students are in the process of prepping portfolios for interviews with a staggering 22 interviews in the calendar over the next few week ! 

Many of the students will continue their journey here before moving to Uni & have applied to the Art foundation course at Ashton Sixth Form College .

The AS Art students will get lots of advice in the summer term when we visit the degree shows but it's never too early to think about University choices so please speak to staff if you need advice.

Congratulations to all those who have gained offers so far & good luck to those awaiting interviews. 

On the road ....

It's that time of year again , when the Graphics & the Art department head out to the degree shows. Next week looks like its going to be pretty busy and the calendar for trips, visits & workshops in the Art department is pretty jam packed. We start out with a whole department visit to the shows at MMU - looking forward to seeing the Graphics & illustration as well as their fantastic facilities. After we've got a taste for that , we're heading up the M6 to Preston to UCLAN to see their exhibition & campus and very excited to see their Fashion Promotion course at the same time.
Once we've drawn breath , we're off to Huddersfield Uni to see their sparkly new facilities in Graphics & photography - as if that wasn't enough , we , of course won't forget out lovely friends st Stockport college either & will pop up the road to check out the work from many of our own ex students. After that, we 're not resting - we have our own End of year exhibition - details shortly - look out for your invite !
