We are delighted to launch our Open Day programme for 2024/25!

If any of your students are thinking of full-time study in the visual arts, then our Art & Design Foundation Diploma is the perfect starting point. Our course is accredited by the SQA to SCQF Level 7 (equivalent to the first year of a Scottish University degree), making us the only college in Scotland offering a Foundation Course at this level. The course is diagnostic, helping each student find their own direction. Guided by our artist tutors, students build up a specialised portfolio for application to higher education art schools and colleges in the UK and internationally. With a high staff/student ratio the course delivers personal, high quality tuition to each student.

Students have the opportunity to experience a range of subjects, including sculpture, fashion, jewellery and installation work as well as drawing and painting. This helps students to narrow down and focus on a chosen discipline and build a portfolio to suit their application to further education.
