Prepare yourself for the Art Foundation

Our Pre-Foundation course will prepare you for our Art Foundation in just 1, 2 or 3 terms. You can start in January, April or September depending on how long you need to study.

This course is ideal for:

• students who need to improve their English to study Art & Design in the UK
• students who have not taken Art & Design as a major subject at high school (aged 16-18).

Every student who has taken the Pre-Foundation course has gone on to complete the Art & Design Foundation course successfully. Our Art Foundation students then go on to study degree courses at a wide range of top international art schools and universities.
