Level 4 Foundation Diploma in Art and Design

Your final self-directed project will decide your grade, but there are ongoing assessments through the course to help you develop and hone your skillset.

Progress into higher education in several art specialisms, at universities and art schools around the world. You could join the art industry in a variety of roles as well using your advanced knowledge.

The fees for this course are £6,000 per annum full-time for UK students.

If you are a EU or international student, or if you would like more information about fees and funding, please contact us .

At the end of each year, your work is displayed in the College’s end of year exhibition, held in Canterbury city centre.

There are a variety of trips including museum visits, art exhibitions and artist talks which you can go on to meet other local artists and continue to grow your network.

Opportunities will be supported by our Industry Liaison Officer, who can help you find events or projects that are right for you using their contacts.

At your interview, please ensure you bring a portfolio of your current work, demonstrating your skill and ambition in a range of visual art techniques as well as your analytical and critical thinking abilities.

Materials will be provided for learners, but if you have more specialist requirements you may wish to buy a range of Art and Design materials yourself, especially for your final major project.
