DOWNLOADI’m hugely into art and ever since I was little I’ve drawn, but now I want to go into games design. I’ve learnt so much since I’ve been at Coleg Gwent and the teachers support and guide you. I want to do two years of games design at Coleg Gwent at the end of this course and then on to Cardiff University for a third year.

Have a look at the link above for info!
Just to clarify, would a level 3 BTEC not get me into university or would I need to consider A level's instead?
A level 3 BTEC would give the qualifications to progress to degree level (level 4), yes.
I'm interested in the media side of fashion and want to take fashion communication and styling in uni, would this course be suitable for me?
UAL level 3 or BTEC in Art and Design would be suitable.
Would doing a fashion course in Coleg Gwent be better then doing it in my school sixth form?
It would be different. In college you learn one discipline or subject, learning subject appropriate skills to push you further in your education and hopefully your chosen career.
What qualifications would you need for media production?
In a nutshell, we look for a minimum of 5 GCSEs grade C or above to include English/Welsh first language, or appropriate Level 2 Diploma qualification at Merit grade with GCSE English/Welsh first language at grade C or above.
Would I be able to get into a fashion course if I have done textiles for GCSE, would I need art for a level 3?
