The teaching quality in foundation is like nothing I have had before. Their expertise and knowledge allow you to learn vital parts in the design sector based on their past experiences. They communicate to you in a mature way that allows you to feel respected. The numerous facilities available on the foundation course allow you to test out new processes that you may not have used before. Again, this comes with great technical staff who can help and guide you in the right direction.
Tutor support was a big part of my development through foundation. When narrowing down into subject specific parts the 3D tutors were particularly helpful to me. Support not only came from technical support but I also felt that the support available in small groups meant that there is a good face to face personal interaction. Feedback on projects was always thorough with areas of positives and improvements.
My advice to anyone considering studying the Foundation Art and Design is to go into the course open minded in terms of an end goal. The course allows you to learn a lot of new techniques that you will find suit to your creative mindset. Another point would be that the jump between a level and university is huge. The foundation course will help this transition.
With Loughborough being a top university with a lot of very talented people it pushes you to be just like them. Wanting to make the Loughborough community proud and recognised is my goal.
