Julie Rooke teaches our Preparation for Foundation at Camberwell. Preparation for Foundation is designed for international students applying for the Foundation Diploma in Art & Design. The course is delivered in a Foundation environment and enables students to develop a high-quality portfolio of work in preparation for a Foundation course.
Students will familiarise themselves with life in London during the six-week course, participating in studio-based projects and research trips to some of the capital's world-famous museums and galleries. Regular group discussions and tutorials will build on communication skills and will support and prepare students for study in further education in art and design.
For the prospective students interested in taking a degree course, Nicola Ida teaches our Preparation for BA to prepare Students applying for a UAL undergraduate course. Preparation for BA similarly will allow students to experience London from the perspective of Art student, with other bright students the same creative path. They will expand their techniques and learn what to expect from their undergraduate course at UAL.

“The tutor was very inspiring and passionate. They helped me open my eyes to unpredictable fascinations. We learned to use a great range of techniques, in a very free and experimental way. I am excited to experiment with future ideas and develop my skills with new mediums.” – Bella
“The tutor was great! She knew a lot about the every subject matter and student interest we worked on while also being very patient. I really enjoyed the ‘arty’ atmosphere, especially when we began to hang our art on the walls while the course went on so we could see how we were all developing. The gallery visit was insightful and inspiring.” - Anon
“I feel like I really came into my own this week on this course, and looking at everybody’s amazing work has inspired me to work harder and paint much more. These courses are great.” – Celeste
