About this course

The Foundation Year is an introduction to a variety of creative process’s, methodologies and core study skills. The year progresses to a range of Art and Design subject pathways. Whilst the year is not subject specialist, teaching spans a selection of subject areas with the School of Creative Industries and allows you the freedom to explore and discover your own creative identity.

Joining the Foundation Year cohort gives you the opportunity to work alongside peers with study interests from a broad range of art and design subject areas.
