The course provides an introduction to study within art and design and bridges study at Level 3 and progression to study on a degree programme within art and design. Predominantly visual and practical, with elements of written work, this course develops students' understanding of concept, contexts and making. It is the preferred route into specialised study within higher education. Students are introduced to specialist study areas including: Fine Art; Visual Communication; Lens-based Media; 3D Design; and, Fashion and Textiles. All students then specialise and progress onto courses of study at degree level, including: Fine Art; Painting and Drawing; Illustration; Graphic Design; Advertising and Brand Design; Games Design; Digital Arts, Animation; Film and Video; Photography; Automotive; Furniture; Interior; Product; Production and Theatre Design; Architecture; Fashion and Jewellery Design; and, Textiles and Surface Pattern.

The modules are delivered through contextual introductions to projects, a range of workshops and classes, lectures and study visits. Students are guided and assessed through group and individual tutorials and critiques. Contextual and historical studies are embedded into all the modules.
