What is Year Zero?

Year zero

I developed skills in being more creative as well as improving my making skills. I think the development I've made throughout, will make me more innovative towards my approach to future projects. 

Mel Palmer, Year Zero Fashion Studies student.

Year Zero is a one year course designed for those who haven't completed a traditional foundation course or aren't quite ready to study at degree level. It enables you to focus on an area of study across a range of disciplines.

Following the successful completion of the year you'll then progress on to the first year of the appropriate degree:

Lots of support

We've got a team of really friendly and supportive staff, who'll be there to help you every step of the way. But don't take our word for it - here's what one student said:

"The support from staff was great and I achieved things that were beyond my previous expectations."

We'll help you explore, challenge and develop your skills so you're ready and prepared to move on to further study in a specialist degree area.
