WHAT WILL I STUDY?

This course is designed to ensure that you have the utmost opportunity to expand your creative, theoretical and contextual skills. The foundation course is a diagnostic course. It will enable you to understand your strengths and areas for development and ultimately will help you decide which area you would like to specialise in. It introduces you to a wide range of skills and disciplines.

During this course, you will cover the following areas:

Exploratory stage

You will experience a range of assignment types, dealing with different materials, skills and basic broad techniques.

Pathway stage

You will develop the skills you have learned in the exploratory stage and will explore the skills, attitudes and techniques specific to your chosen pathway (fine art, fashion/ textiles, 3D design, or graphic design/illustration). You will work in your specialist discipline, a final project is required and you are expected to exhibit work at the end of the course. In addition to the above stages, we will support you with your applications to university and will help you compile a portfolio for presentation at interviews. Confirmatory stage
