About this course

The Art and Design Foundation Diploma at Gower College Swansea.
Successful candidates can progress on to foundation or degree level courses, or perhaps gain employment in the media and photographic industry.

Although potential learners may not possess a formal qualification in photography, it is useful to have a creative background e.g. art or graphics at GCSE, although this is not essential. We do expect students to have attained at least a grade C in GCSE English

Course programme

The course is delivered through practical workshops and formal lectures, including camera handling skills, along with the use of a black and white darkroom, photographic studio and digital darkroom.

Learners are expected to produce much of their coursework outside of class on location shoots, as well as attending a number of field studies as a group, with hands on demonstrations from lecturing staff.

Assessment of the course is achieved through critiques throughout the course, half termly reviews, internal assessment and external assessment via the examining body.

Additional information

We do recommend that you acquire a 35mm DSLR camera but this is not essential. Other costs include the printing of your images and workbooks. During the course, you will be offered the chance to participate in field trips. There is a £25 studio fee for this course.
