Choosing a Creative Course After 12th: A Checklist

Questions to ask about the curriculum, the software, the projects and the support before you pick a course.

Arena Editorial Team 1 min read

Choosing a course is easier with a short list of questions. Ask them everywhere you look.

Look at the curriculum

See what you will actually build by the end. A course that finishes with a portfolio is different from one that finishes with an exam.

Ask about tools and projects

Find out which software you will use and how many hours you will spend on it.

  • Which projects will I finish, and who reviews them?
  • How is my progress tracked?
  • What support is there for portfolios and interviews?

See the work, meet the students, then decide.

Visit and talk to students

See the space, look at student work and ask current students what they would change. You will learn more in an hour there than from a brochure.
