Achieve a 90-credit diploma in your first year of study then top up to 180 credits on the extended diploma in the second year. The extended diploma gives you much more detail on the subject it's the same as three A-levels and is a great route into university. If you already have 90 credits from another college, you can choose to top up to the extended diploma with just one year of study.

You can progress to the HNC in Graphic Design here at South Thames College or to an art and design degree at a university or art college of your choice. You can also look for related work in a range of art, craft and design specialisms.
