This course adopts an innovative approach to teaching, designed to help you explore your capabilities and guide you towards establishing an individual direction within creative practices in our School of Art, Architecture and Design.

The intensive foundation year will be shared with other students in the School and will help you develop knowledge and skills related to a range of specialist undergraduate degree programmes. In your first term you’ll start by taking part in a range of short studio and workshop projects in visual imagery and practical making. The following term will cover spatial and orthogonal drawing, inhabitation, materials, process, modelling, structure, scale and surface.

The subsequent three years of your studies will be shared with students starting their studies on the three-year course. To learn more about the course content during the final three years please visit our Interior Architecture and Design BA (Hons) course page.

If you’d like to change your specialism following the foundation year, there will be flexibility to allow you to do this.
