Diploma Year 1: Visual Studies (Interview Required)

The Foundation Diploma in Art & Design is a part-time, two year course giving students the opportunity to explore various Art & Design disciplines, experiment with a range of materials, methods and approaches and build a portfolio of work. The course allows you to study a broad range of creative arts disciplines, with a key focus on Fine Art. You will also acquire key transferable skills such as effective communication, teamwork, time and project management.

The Project-based course allows learners to develop their ideas, designing and making skills to give them progression opportunities in HE to degree or HND level and other areas of the creative industries. This course will build on learners' existing skills as well as introducing them to new ideas, media and ways of learning. They will explore a broad range of disciplines in art and design - including fine art, drawing and painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, fashion, textiles, 3D design and illustration - with increasing independence and refinement towards a specialist focus within which they may complete their final major project and end of course exhibition.
