Art and Design:
Foundation Studies Diploma
This course is designed for students who have completed
a BTEC National or A levels and want to apply for higher
education courses in Art and Design. It enables students
to develop a strong portfolio for higher education
interviews. There are opportunities to broaden and
develop visual awareness, explore design concepts and
improve verbal presentation skills.
Course details This is done in a studio-based, student-
focused environment. We demand commitment through
intensive teaching and high workload. Although we only
take a limited number of students (20 maximum), external
applicants are welcome. Students will be encouraged to
extend their ways of working, developing theoretical
concepts and practical approaches. The course is based
on practical project work, allowing students to work in
two and three dimensions and specialise in: drawing
(including life drawing); painting; sculpture; product
design; graphic design; textile and fashion design; interior
design; architecture; photography and animation.
How is it assessed? The assessment is 100% coursework.
All units must be passed. Final grade is given on an
externally assessed final project.
Course duration One year full-time.
What do I need to study this subject? Students must be
educated to A level/BTEC National in Art and Design.
Applications will be considered from post-19 students who
have had alternative experience; however, all students
must show a portfolio of artwork at interview.
Where can this lead me? Students can progress directly
to a chosen specialist area at HND/degree level. British
art schools have a reputation for producing leaders in
their chosen fields. Career choices can include:
advertising, fashion/textile design, film and TV (post
production), fine art (such as painting, sculpture,
printmaking), product design, photography and digital
imaging, and marketing/PR.
What are the enrichment opportunities? The course will
include visits to museums and galleries in London, and
a field trip abroad: past destinations have included
New York and Barcelona. Visiting lecturers, including
professional designers from leading universities, form
part of the programme.
