The Top Up year had a mini show today after the presentation of their reflective practice module. I was really impressed by all of the Graphics students from last year, and how far they have gone in such a short period of time.
Top Up is not an extension of the FDA course you are on now, it's very different. If you want to apply for Top Up here or at any other college it's important that you find the right one for you - and that you UNDERSTAND the course and do plenty of research first and make sure it is right for you, and not just somewhere you want to live.
You need to be able to talk at your interview about the work you want to do - it's personal, self directed and must be ambitious and original. You are not given briefs and modules like on the FDA, you have to constantly be developing new work independently - and you have to be able to convince Andrew ( or whoever ) that you can deliver. Make sure you think about this very hard over Xmas.
You must do this for yourself - remember that the FDA is NOT a feeder course for Top Up and is totally different to a degree in content, context and deliverables, I can't spoon feed you at degree level and give you a list of things to tick off - so be really clear at interview where you are 'coming from' and where you want to go.
