Description

This program consists of a pathway program offered by INTO at the International Study Centre for Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU)  followed by entry into a university program offered at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). An International Foundation Year will help you establish the necessary English language abilities, skills and pertinent subject-specific knowledge needed to flourish in your intended academic degree. 

The International Foundation Year in Art and Design will provide you the skills and tools necessary for success in an undergraduate degree in an array of fields such as design, media, journalism and even fashion design. During your time at the Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), you will study core subjects as well as optional subjects as media campaigns intentionally crafted for your chosen field of study. 

This programme is firmly rooted in the tradition of drawing and the individuality this discipline instils.

The course will provide you with the opportunity to combine illustration with animation. Through a variety of challenges, you will develop strategies and skills to enable you to successfully cope with a range of visual communication problems and contexts. Ambitions are realised through a research-informed questioning of practice that embraces the potential outcomes of page or screen.

Graduates have gone on to postgraduate study in many national institutions including the Royal College of Art, the National Film School and Manchester Metropolitan University. Graduates have also become freelance illustrators, animators, filmmakers, designers, pre-production artists, storyboard artists, and teachers.
