Sep 2027
2.0 Year
This is a two-year, full-time, Foundation Degree course, which upon successful completion allows you to apply for a third ‘top-up’ year and convert into a BA (Hons) Degree. This qualification is validated and awarded by the University of Kent. This is a highly practical course where students are introduced to a range of materials, technologies and tools associated with Fine Art Practice. Workshop-based projects have an experimental agenda where students learn to recognise the potential and interactive relationship between materials, media and processes, and between ideas and issues in order to develop their skills in visual communication. In year one you will build a broad skill set before specialising in year two. Contextual / Critical Studies will underpin your practical learning to ensure you are aware of contemporary practice and have the skills to critically analyse and evaluate your own work and the work of others. Work based learning is central to the programme to ensure you have the opportunity to network with practising artists and designers, and work on live projects and gain industry work experience.
