The study area AM (Advanced) Graphical Communication is informed by the National Curriculum Framework (NCF).
Graphical Communication syllabus contains a continually assessed computer-aided design & drafting (CAD) component over and above the written component. This is because CAD is recognised as one of the most useful skill in this field by employers, hence, making students more employable.
At the end of the programme, the student will be able to:
