Art and Design Foundation
This one-year course prepares students for entry to higher, more specialised courses in art, design and related subjects and is the nationally recognised route to such courses. An accreditation agreement with both Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Salford means that students with appropriate grades can progress onto related degree courses within those universities without the need for interview or application through UCAS.
Students who wish to study at other universities will work together with their tutor through the UCAS application system. Assessment and evaluation are conducted with students’ participation and with emphasis on continual feedback, which ensures a high level of communication between students and tutors and the developments of a strong portfolio of artwork for entry to higherlevel courses. Manchester is an excellent centre for the study of art with galleries, museums and regular exhibitions of student work in and around the city.
