Course summary

This four-year degree course includes an intensive foundation year (Year 0), which will enable you to progress onto one of our art or design undergraduate degree courses at our School of Art, Architecture and Design. It is both preparatory and diagnostic, allowing you to explore a number of different directions prior to choosing a specialism at the end of the year. It will also provide you with the skills required for your subsequent three years of study.As a start you’ll undertake a broad range of short studio and workshop projects in visual imagery and practical making. These will help you to develop techniques that are common across all of our foundation year courses and introduce you to a work ethic of experimentation and open-mindedness. Following this you will approach open-ended, interpretive projects that will help you to establish a personal perspective and sense of direction.All of our foundation year programmes allow you to develop techniques in:observational, technical and creative drawing2D and 3D compositionframing, sequence/series and narrativestudio and workshop skillsDuring your subject-specific projects you’ll also have the opportunity to explore:conceptual modellingperformancecolourmaterialscollagecompositioncuratingexhibitingYour lectures and seminars will frame the creative practice within historical, contemporary, conceptual and cultural contexts.Throughout the course you’ll present work-in-progress and finished projects to peers and tutors on a regular basis, which will prepare you for the public exhibition at the end of year.
