Overview
This page covers Scenic Arts across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.
Teaching in Drama is assessed on the work you produce rather than on examinations, which changes how the year is paced.
Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
Careers opportunities
Hiring in this field is decided on a portfolio rather than on a transcript, and the degree's job is to build one. A large share of graduates work freelance or on contract for the first few years, often alongside a studio job.
Roles graduates go into
- Designer or practitioner in your discipline
- Studio assistant
- Art director
- Creative producer
- Arts administrator
- Freelance commissions
Where they work
- Design studios and agencies
- In-house brand and product teams
- Galleries, museums and arts organisations

- Self-employment and commissions
After the course
There is no register to join. What replaces it is a body of work, and most graduates spend the first two years building it in paid assisting roles.
