Our Pre-Masters programme is designed for international students who have completed an Art & Design degree outside of the UK and are looking to come to the UK to study a Masters course in an art and design discipline.

This course also suits any UK or European student looking for an opportunity to develop their portfolio for the application to any UK Masters programme, in any Art & Design discipline, or simply as a means of investing in their own creative practice and professional development.

This innovative programme is designed to help students develop the skills required for success at Masters level, bridging the gap between their existing abilities and experience, and the realities of postgraduate study. Students will learn skills and references that can be applied to all areas of Art & Design, before focussing on an area of specific interest. Participation in a range of experimental workshops will enable the development of new skills, interdisciplinary experimentation, and experience with collaborative creative practice.
