What is the Pre-Foundation course in Art & Design?

Our Pre-Foundation course is designed for international students who wish to develop their skills in Art & Design, but have not yet reached the appropriate level for entry on to the Foundation course. Typically these will be:

  • students whose English language level is not yet adequate to support study at further education level 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 Foundation course successfully, and has then been placed for degree study at the college or university of their choice.
