I found that despite not being the best at exams and final marks, I loved being creative and always saw myself having a creative career. I felt a bit behind my peers in terms of art experience (having not done art at GCSE or A level), so I decided to pursue the Art foundation level qualification to help me decide which creative discipline I’d like to pursue. I knew that a university degree would help me gain a better entry level job as well as an understanding of how to work in a creative business, so it was the right choice for me.
