2-Term Undergraduate Foundation Pathway in Art and Design - Continue to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Model Design (Character and Creative Effects)

Program Description

HIC offers University Foundation Studies for candidates who do not meet the direct entry criteria or hold high school qualifications that are not recognised. Upon successful completion of the pathway programme students will progress onto the University of Hertfordshire.

All three of Hertfordshire's model design courses share the same First Year, giving students an excellent introduction to model making, prop making, sculpture and special effects. Building on this foundation, they’ll learn to use a wide range of specialist materials and processes to create original sculptural characters, props and set dressings – including the option of developing stop-motion puppets or collaborating with special effects students.

In the second year students will explore a wide range of specialist materials and processes such as sculpting, moulding and casting that enable the creation of original characters, props and set dressings

In the Final Year students will work on major projects and create a professional portfolio to impress employers. Throughout their studies students will have access to traditional model-making equipment and cutting-edge prototyping technologies. This course is accredited by Creative Skillset, reflecting the highest standard of teaching and facilities.
