What the college says

The Foundation Diploma, equivalent in size to 1.5 A Levels, is for learners looking to study performing arts as a one-year, full-time course and for those wishing to take it alongside another area of contrasting or complementary study, as part of a two-year, full-time study programme. If taken as part of a programme of study that includes other BTEC Nationals or A Levels, it supports progression to higher education. It also supports progression to an Apprenticeship in the performing arts sector or to a further year of study at Level 3.

What you need to get on
