Eastleigh College has moved to online learning, as such campuses are closed to the vast majority of learners. The College remains open (including over the Easter holiday period) for 16-18 learners of key workers, and those learners with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). However, for both categories, learners are asked to stay at home where it is safe to do so. Consistent with public health advice, learners and staff are asked to follow public health guidance and the steps outlined via the 'read more' button.
A qualification in Art, Design and Creative media can open doors to many creative industries including advertising, animation, photography, fashion, film and architecture. Roles within these areas vary, from being involved in practical crafts to careers in administration and support. Example career pathways could be working as a Fine Artist, Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Photographer or Web Designer.
For the ninth consecutive year there has been a 100% success rate in applications to University, a fantastic record for the department. In 2013/14, almost half of our applying students gained places at the top London Universities. Our students have gone onto study a range of art, design and media disciplines at Universities throughout the UK, including Goldsmiths, Central Saint Martins, The Slade School of Fine Art, Chelsea College of Art, Winchester School of Art and University of the West of England.
Generally studied by 16-18 year olds as an alternative to A-Levels.

As part of a recent campus development project, the College has a range of different studios including a large studio space used for both 2D work and workshops, and a 3D/ sculpture workshop which contains a vaccuum former and an A2 laser cutter.
The print studio hosts a variety of printmaking equipment including an Etching Press for dry-point etching, a Roller Press for surface and lino printing, and Heat Presses used for heat transfer and disperse printing. The Texttile and Fashion studios contain Loom, screen printing, and sewing machines to assist with weave and knit and stitch working.
The College also has a design studio and digital video suite, which makes use of Apple Macs and professional software packages such as Adobe Creative Cloud software; including adobe photoshop, illustrator, premiere and animate. For chemical phtography and black and white film processing students are able to make use of the Dark Room, which includes 12 Englargers for photographic processing. There is also a photographic studio with a lighting rig and studio lighting setups.
In addition to the facilities on campus, students can benefit from a range of study visits to galleries and museums, and various guest lectures by professional artists and designers.
Local businesses support Eastleigh College’s annual ‘Chippy of the Year’ awards celebrating the hard work and successes of the college’s carpentry and joinery students and apprentices.
Carpentry and joinery students from Eastleigh College have helped to save a local charity £12,000 by putting their skills to good use carrying out out essential maintenance and decorating.
