This qualification is comprised of two units: Unit 1: Diagnostic investigation in Art and Design (same as diploma) Unit 2: Specialist practice in Art and Designing Unit 1, students will undertake a diagnostic investigation into art and design practices. This diagnostic investigation allows students to explore a wide range of art and design disciplines as part of their journey to, or reinforcement of a specialist practice in Unit 2. Students will demonstrate their learning by responding to a creative brief that is set and marked by UAL Awarding Body.
