Art & Design (General Foundation) BA (Hons) / BDes (Hons)

The focus of this course is centered on learning independence and finding your individual path. It also develops your practical skills and critical thinking. You will undertake a diverse range of projects throughout the year, that will each offer different challenges and opportunities. The course content will help you to decide on your choice of Honours degree specialism for the remainder of your course. Our six studio spaces are large and bright, encouraging the sharing of ideas in a social, collaborative atmosphere. You will spend the majority of your time on studio-based activities learning fundamental skills. The dedicated staff team will encourage you to think in different ways, supporting your learning and your transition into an Art School environment. Your studies in the studio are complemented by a full program of lectures, one day per week throughout both semesters. These lectures offer a contextual insight into how art and design have developed through history and contemporary practice, as well as learning more about the individual subject specialisms offered by our degrees.
