What is a

Foundation Course

in Art and Design?

 

  • A fully accredited British university-entrance qualification

  • Study in Larnaca or Limassol

 

A Foundation Diploma or Course in Art and Design is the standard entrance qualification to universities in the UK and many other countries for people who want to study art or design or architecture. It is accredited on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) for England as NQF Level 3 and so is equivalent to

GCE A' Levels. That means you do not need additional A' Levels to apply to university in the UK, you can apply with the Foundation Diploma in Art and Design on its own.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Cornaro Institute Foundation Course is one of the best courses of its kind in the world. As well as giving you a well rounded education in the fundamental principles of art and design, it is a university entrance qualification for those wanting to study art and design subjects at degree level.

 

You will study specific art and design practises, like painting, sculpture, fashion and photography, but also the general principles that underpin all forms of art, design and architecture. This is because universities and art colleges do not want students who have only had a narrow education in one area of art or design. They want students who can think visually and make use of different art and design disciplines in their creative work.

 

The guiding principles and key features for this course are:

 

  • Giving you experience of a variety of art and design activities

  • Developing technical and critical ability

  • Project based work to encourage you to think and act like an artist and designer

  • Teaching of genuine technical skills, from life drawing to installation design

  • Tuition from practising professional artists and designers

  • Private tuition through a unique personal tutor system

  • Options for professional training in the business of art and design

  • Your own studio space

  • Practical encouragement of ambition and excellence in art and design at the highest level

  • Full accreditation of the qualification in the UK

  • Assistance in applying to the top universities in the world to continue your studies in art, design or architecture.

 

The course lasts one academic year (from September to May annually) and is fully accredited in the United Kingdom by the British government accreditation agency WJEC as an entrance qualification for universities and art colleges in Britain and other countries.
