What the college says

The 19+ UAL Art Foundation Diploma at Morley College Waterloo is an intensive part-time programme of study in Fine Art. Expand your experience, knowledge and skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, digital media, mixed media (textiles), and contextual studies. If you've been out of education for some time or are looking to build your academic confidence and a comprehensive portfolio ahead of undergraduate or postgraduate study, this course could be the perfect next step. The small cohort's size of up to 16 students ensures that you will benefit from a high tutor-to-student ratio, working in a supportive and creative environment with tutors who are also art industry professionals. You will also have access to specialist support services and advice on finance and funding. Situated close to the cultural quarter of the Southbank, our facilities include purpose built and high quality studios for each discipline. The course culminates in a group exhibition in the prestigious Morley Gallery. Our students are guaranteed an interview at the University of the Arts and gain places at Central St Martins, Camberwell, Wimbledon and other major universities and colleges across the country including the Courtauld Institute, Goldsmiths and Middlesex University.
