2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Year - Art, Media and Architecture - Transfer to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Graphic Design and Animation

Program Description This program consists of a pathway program offered by StudyGroup at the International Study Centre for the University of Huddersfield followed by entry into a university program offered at the University of Huddersfield. In your international foundation year, you will study courses related to your intended field of study alongside English to develop and enhance your skills as a student. Advancement into your intended program depends upon the successful completion of the pathway program.

The International Foundation Year in Art, Media and Architecture will provide you the skills and tools necessary for success in an undergraduate degree in an array of fields such as design, media, journalism and even fashion design. During your time at the University of Huddersfield, you will study core subjects as well as optional subjects as media campaigns intentionally crafted for your chosen field of study. All of these skills will be key for future academic success at the University of Huddersfield.

In the digital era animation and graphic design go hand in hand. From film and advertising to websites and social media, the two disciplines are all around us. We’ll give you the chance to understand the techniques and build your skills in order to go on to a career in the creative industries.

The course aims to help you become a strong designer; someone who’s not afraid to experiment with creativity and someone who understands the strategy behind what they’re doing.

This is an industry that’s changing fast. So we’ll look at future trend forecasts to give you a feel of how things might evolve. We believe in keeping your options open as you study too. Graphic Design and Animation BA(Hons) is part of a suite of three courses that includes Animation BA(Hons) and Graphic Design BA(Hons). Once you’ve enrolled on one of the courses, you could switch to the other one in between your first and second years if your interests change, and if your tutor agrees to it.
