Your work experience and recent study will need to demonstrate both numerical and art and design skills.Applicants offering an Access to HE Diploma (generally in science or engineering, with significant work experience in an art/design field or an additional art/design qualification) would typically be expected to pass the Access to HE Diploma with at least 39 credits achieved at Distinction.
