"summary": "The International Foundation (IF) is a Year 1 programme (SCQF 7) taught over one academic year that introduces students to the basic principles of Art and Design at HE level. The programme acts as a bridge into the study of undergraduate Art and Design where students can explore their creative practice before choosing an area of specialist study. Learning and teaching is delivered through studio-based projects alongside bespoke tuition in communication within a creative context. Students graduate from the programme with a Certificate in Higher Education (Cert HE) and ordinarily progress to Year 2 (SCQF 8) of UG programmes. \n\nThe programme provides a supportive environment for students whilst they develop their studio work and learn to articulate their understanding of that work in the context of specialist study. Our dedicated programme staff includes studio tutors and English language tutors who work alongside students to develop a shared knowledge and appreciation of Art and Design. Workshops and demonstrations provide students with skills and technical abilities that are applied in response to assigned project briefs. The programme is made up of 5 courses, delivered over 2 Semesters. They include: \n\nSemester 1\n\nFoundation Studio 1 (30 credits) \nFoundation Studio 1 provides an introduction to the study of Art and Design and supports students’ first experiences in a studio-based learning environment. Each student is invited to explore a range of creative approaches and techniques in response to an assigned project. Learning and teaching is supported through workshops and assigned projects that prioritise 2D, 3D and digital making.\n\nCreative Communication (10 credits) \nCreative Communication supports students’ development of language and communication skills and strategies to help them thrive in the studio environment. The course is accessible for students using English as a second language and complements Foundation Studio 1 by strengthening the link between studio-based learning and student communication. \n\nCo-Lab (20 credits) \nCo-Lab is a 4-week project-based course shared by all undergraduate programmes at the GSA. It brings students together from across the schools and programmes of GSA to foster community and explore their identity as emergent creative practitioners and learners through practice-based learning, collaboration, and reflection. \n\nSemester 2 \n\nFoundation Studio 2 (40 credits)\nFoundation Studio 2 is designed to support the development of students’ knowledge and understanding of specialist study within Art and Design through two distinct pathways – Fine Art Practice and Design Practice. The course provides specialist tuition, alongside the time and space for students to develop a greater understanding of their chosen specialism. \n\nCommunication in Context (20 credits)\nCommunication in Context complements the pathways of Foundation Studio 2 and supports students, including those using English as a second language, to further develop communication skills and strategies for working within specialist creative practices, paying particular attention to language for critical analysis and reflection.",
