The foundation year is an integrated pathway to our architecture, interior architecture and product design degrees. This course gives you the opportunity to learn in a creative and inclusive studio environment and to develop the confidence, design skills and portfolio of work needed to study at degree level.

We will introduce you to the fundamental design principles and transferable skills of architecture and design. You’ll explore the design process through creative projects and technical workshops, and develop core skills in drawing, making, digital practice, presentation and communication, and critical thinking and writing. These core skills will inform a final design project in your chosen subject.You'll have hands-on academic and technical support and work in excellent facilities. And when you leave the course you'll be equipped to get the most out of whichever design degree that you choose.Foundation students study together for their first year but you'll choose one of the three degrees listed here when you apply via UCAS.- Architecture BA(Hons) with integrated foundation year – K15F- Interior Architecture BA(Hons) with integrated foundation year – W2F5- Product Design BSc(Hons) with integrated foundation year – W24Y
