This is a 4-year degree which includes a preparatory first year as part of the BA Advertising and Brand Design course. This 4-year option will suit you if you want more time to develop your skillset before starting year one of your undergraduate degree or if you do not fulfil the entry requirements of the 3-year course. Your tutors will nurture your creative potential while you develop the skills you need to confidently enter undergraduate study. You will develop communication, professional and entrepreneurial skills alongside research practice and ways of thinking that are essential to your continued success. Advertising and Brand Design (with Foundation Year) is not a standalone course: it is the first stage of a full four-year undergraduate degree.
