Thinking About University? Shillington Might Be A Smarter Move.

You’re starting your A-levels and thinking ahead. What comes next? University might seem like the obvious path, but it’s not the only one.

If you know you’re creative, if you get excited by posters, typefaces, album covers or packaging design. If you want to build a career doing something visual, practical and meaningful.

Then it might be time to consider a different way into the design industry.

One that doesn't take three years. One that focuses on real skills, not just theory. One that gets you where you want to go, faster. That’s where Shillington comes in.

Study graphic design. Graduate in months. Start your career.

Shillington’s graphic design course helps you become a working designer in a short amount of time. You don’t need any experience to apply.

You’ll learn the tools of the trade, including Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma. You’ll explore typography, layout, branding and colour. And by the end, you’ll have a job-ready portfolio that shows you can solve design problems and think like a creative.

University might be the right choice. But it’s not the only one.

For some students, university is a great experience. But others feel held back. Too much talking. Not enough doing. Lots of theory. Very little practice.

Why choose Shillington?

• Graduate in 3 months full-time or 9 months part-time: Learn fast. Move forward.
  
• Create a real portfolio: You’ll graduate with work that shows your skills and ideas. No fluff. No filler.
  
• Learn from working designers: Our teachers are creatives who know what studios are looking for.
  
• Study online wherever you are: Designed to suit your lifestyle and location.
  
• Join a creative mix of people: Study alongside other motivated learners of all ages and backgrounds.

Your future doesn’t have to follow a straight line.

You’re just starting your A-levels. You don’t have to know exactly what you want to do yet. But if you know you’re creative, and you want to do something practical and professional, it’s worth thinking ahead.

University is one path. Shillington is another. Both can lead to a design career. But one gets you there faster, with less debt, and more confidence.

Start where others finish

While some students are still writing essays in their second year, Shillington graduates are landing internships, working freelance or applying for jobs with confidence.

If you want to turn creativity into a career, there’s more than one way to do it. The design industry values talent, skill and ideas. Not just a degree.

Design your future. Your way.
