Art and Design Foundation Studies at Loughborough University is a fast-paced, fun, and creative year during which students can develop and explore their artistic abilities, prior to choosing an undergraduate degree. Successful completion of the year leads to a UAL (University Arts London) Level 3 Diploma in Art and Design Foundation Studies, satisfying the entry requirements for progression to undergraduate courses in art and design. The Foundation year teaches a broad range of skills, enabling students to experience four key disciplines (fashion and textiles, visual communication, fine art, and 3D design) before choosing where they would like to specialise. It is a transitional course so ideal for those who are unsure which degree course they should progress on to, or for those who don’t quite satisfy the entry requirements for an undergraduate art and design course.
