The Arts Foundation Year at Lincoln is the first interdisciplinary year of a four-year degree programme for a wide range of degree courses, including Animation and Visual Effects; Architecture; Creative Advertising; Fine Art; Graphic Design; Illustration; Interior Architecture and Design; Photography; and Product Design.<br/><br/>All students follow the same dynamic curriculum, expanding their knowledge of the creative industries through practice, workshops, research, and theory. Whilst students need to apply for a named degree they have the opportunity to explore alternative disciplines before they progress onto their degree. It is ideal for students who are not completely sure of their degree specialism, haven’t had the opportunity to study art and design at school, are returning to education, would benefit from time to gain confidence and adjust to degree level studies, or have achieved lower than expected grades.<br/><br/>Students become part of a thriving community, work with tutors from different disciplinary backgrounds, and be encouraged to experiment and develop their practical skills and critical thinking before transitioning into the first year of their specialist degree.
