What will we cover?
All aspects of our Foundation Diploma course and our Pre-Foundation, designed to prepare students who have limited experience of art education, or lack a portfolio, for entry to Foundation.
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
You will have an understanding of the full range and breadth of what a Foundation course can do for you, and why it is the ideal course for anyone who is visually creative but doesn't know what to specialise in, or what is possible.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
No skills required, the event is for information only.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
There will be a presentation, site tour, Q&As, portfolio review (for those who would like it) and advice/guidance on applying for Foundation Diploma.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
No.
When I've finished, what course can I do next?
You can apply for Foundation, or sign up directly for Pre-Foundation. If you're not sure what level is appropriate for you, our tutors will be on hand to advise.
We’re sorry. We don’t have a bio ready for the tutor of this class at the moment, but we’re working on it! Watch this space.
