Art and design Foundation

I haven't been successful in gaining a place for a foundation art and design course at UAL or Kingston. Can anyone recommend a good FE College or alternative uni that has a good reputation. Thanks

Is there any specific area of art and design you are looking to study? Or are you looking for a more general degree?

We do offer some creative courses and these can be found below, not saying apply to us etc, it might just be useful as a starting point. https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/about-us/faculties-schools-and-departments/faculty-of-arts-humanities-and-education/school-of-creative-arts-and-industries

I’m so sorry to hear that :frown:

I know that Brighton MET and Ravensbourne have good foundations and I think they accept later admission too? It would be worth checking those ones out!

it depends what u want to specialise in, loughborough is amazing for design and also fashion and textiles, but its sooooo far. but very worth looking at, i have an offer from there and will definitely go if i dont get ual. the one thing is im quite sure u cant get loans for accom but the course is free for home students. i also think they are still accepting applications. someone else said ravensbourne but i tried to apply and their admin was atrocious, i submitted my portfolio and they never confirmed receipt but instead asked for it again, then never confirmed they got it. it seemed really messy and i think the deadline has passed anyways, also i talked to someone who goes there and they said its really not great. sorry ive been so long winded amd hope u find somewhere !
