This exciting and interactive day will give Year 12 learners the opportunity to explore our Made It Degree Show. The Degree Show is the culmination of our third-year students' time with us and allows them to showcase their passion and expertise.
Helping you to meet Gatsby Benchmarks 7, learners will have the opportunity to tour the Degree Show, as well as take part in an interactive taster session from across our Art and Design portfolio, giving them an insight into that subject area and something to put towards their portfolio when applying to university.
The event will be based across our Britannia Mill and Markeaton Street sites, the home of our Arts courses at Derby. As part of the tour of the degree show, your students will also get the chance to see some of the amazing facilities and resources that our students get to use as part of their course.
