START Foundation Diploma in Art & Design

START Bangkok is proud to introduce the START Foundation Diploma in Art & Design, a one-year full-time programme beginning in September 2026 that is equivalent to a UK Level 3 qualification for students preparing for progression into higher education and creative disciplines.

The programme is designed to support students in developing a strong creative foundation through portfolio development, visual research, practical exploration, and critical thinking within contemporary art and design practice.

Students will explore a wide range of media, techniques, and creative processes while developing the confidence, technical abilities, and independent working practices required for future study in art, design, and related creative pathways.

The qualification is recognised by universities in the UK and internationally, including the University of Greater Manchester and University of Leeds.

Key features of the programme include:

• A one-year full-time foundation experience
• Portfolio-focused creative development
• Studio-based and project-led learning
• Exploration across traditional and digital media
• Individual guidance and small-group teaching
• Exposure to contemporary art and design practices
• Preparation for progression into higher education and creative disciplines

The START Foundation Diploma in Art & Design is ideal for students seeking to strengthen their creative practice and prepare for progression into university-level study in art, design, and creative disciplines.

Applications are now open for the September 2026 intake.
