DIPLOMA IN ART AND DESIGN - FOUNDATION STUDIES

If you love being creative, it can be hard to decide which subject you’d like to specialise in. So don’t decide. Our Foundation Diploma course gives you the chance to explore different creative areas before choosing the subject you want to take a degree in.

This one year course (for students who have A-levels or an equivalent qualification) will help you develop your imagination and powers of invention by setting you projects in a variety of different media. It’s the perfect way to find your creative voice if you’re not sure what degree course you’d like to study or boost your existing skills and portfolio if they’re not quite up to degree standard. What’s more, if you are successful on our Foundation Diploma you’re guaranteed a place on a degree course at AUB.

There are two programmes of study:Diploma in Art and Design – Foundation Studies (Main Programme)Diploma in Art and Design – Foundation Studies (Media Programme) Main ProgrammeOn the main programme students engage in four broad projects; drawing, art, design and media. Using these projects, students are able to diagnose their strengths in order to progress onto the Pathway option most suitable to them. There are seven specialist Pathways for the final two stages of the course: - Fine Art, 3D Art Craft and Design, Illustration, Graphics, Photography, Fashion, Costume and Textiles and Film and Animation.

Media ProgrammeStudents on this programme engage in lens based projects and will normally progress to the Film or Photography Pathways for the final two stages of the course. At the end of the programmes students will have a Level 4 qualification.
