Getting Ahead

Art & Design UAL Foundation Diploma at Alton College

We aim to help you build a portfolio of art and design work, giving you a chance to experiment and discover what area of Art and Design you really enjoy and are most suited to. We’ll help you to challenge yourself and expand your knowledge of Art & Design so that you are prepared to study at degree level. The course will help you to make the right choices of what courses to study at university. The course is very practical and is supported by theoretical and contextual research. Students are encouraged to develop personal creative responses, analytical and communication skills.   

This project is designed to keep your creativity going before the course starts and help you to begin to think about different specialist areas.

College is definitely worth all the effort you put in, you get to meet lots of different people and it’s amazing.

Ebony Puttock, A Level student

I would say it’s a college that really balances academia with fun, there is lots of extra-curricular stuff that you can get involved in. It has a really good work/life balance.
