This one-year foundation course gives you the chance to explore different creative areas before choosing the subject you want to take a degree in.
It's the perfect way to find your creative voice and to boost your existing skills and portfolio if they’re not quite up to degree standard – or you might just like to enjoy a year of being creative before moving on to something else. After successful completion of this course, students are awarded the widely recognised UAL Foundation Diploma in Art and Design (Level 3).
Guaranteed place on a BA degree at AUB upon successful completion (except the Acting and Creative Writing courses, which require auditions or written submissions).
This course is geared towards the preparation of a portfolio of work to support your application to a Higher Education course. Throughout the course, your practical studio work will be supported by a programme of contextual studies in art and design.
