You will be required to complete an activity before you start in order to help introduce you to the subject.
In term one you will follow a balanced range of activities designed to promote skills and ideas relevant to general art and design. Practical assignments and workshops will introduce you to fine art, graphic design, illustration, 3D design and sculpture, fashion, textiles, photography and IT.
The second term will allow you to develop your individual skills and interests and to select a specialist area study, with advice and guidance from your tutors to help you make the right choice. During the third term you will work independently to produce a final major project within your chosen area.

I came to The Henley College from Sir William Ramsay School. I studied Art, History, Maths and English Literature A Levels and discovered that I really enjoyed art and wanted to take the Foundation Diploma in Art and Design.
The college was friendly and the small class size meant I could have tutorials and advice when I needed it. There are numerous workshops and skills that are developed as well as a professional standard exhibition space.
The part of the course I have enjoyed the most was the technical workshops and being able to develop my screen-printing techniques.
I have been offered an unconditional place at Buckinghamshire New University to study Textiles and Surface Design.
