Over the course of this two-week programme, you will learn:
In this foundational module, students will embark on a creative journey into the world of art and design. They’ll explore the basics of artistic principles, visual language, and design concepts. Through hands-on projects and interactive discussions, students will develop a solid foundation in drawing, color theory, and the elements of design. They’ll also gain an understanding of the historical and cultural contexts that have influenced art and design throughout the ages.
Module 2 focuses on the exploration of various artistic mediums and techniques. Students will experiment with a wide range of artistic tools, including painting, sculpture, digital media, and more. They’ll learn how to express their creativity and ideas through different mediums and develop their unique artistic style. Through guided projects and studio time, students will hone their technical skills and artistic expression.
In this practical module, students will have the opportunity to showcase their artistic talents and develop a portfolio of their work. They’ll work on self-directed projects, exploring themes and concepts that inspire them. Students will also learn about the presentation of artwork, the curation of exhibitions, and the role of art and design in contemporary culture. By the end of this module, students will have a portfolio that reflects their artistic growth and creative vision.
Develop your public speaking skills. Share your passion. Inspire your classmates.
Today, giving great presentations are a vital skill for achieving academic and professional success. Our programmes reflect this by having the ‘art of presenting’ at the heart of their content, and allow you to discover new confidence when using English in public situations.
It’s more than just a chance to enhance your public speaking skills, though; it’s an opportunity for you to share your passion and subject knowledge with your fellow classmates. Through your presentations, you will become sources of inspiration, and encourage others to delve deeper into your subject.
Over the two-week programme, you will participate in two Time To Shine Projects.
Week One: Artistic Masterpiece Recreation
In the first week’s “Time to Shine” project, students will collaborate to recreate an iconic artistic masterpiece. Each student will select a renowned artwork from art history, and as a team, they will work to reproduce it using their chosen medium and techniques. This project not only allows students to hone their technical skills but also encourages them to dive into the world of art history, gaining a deeper understanding of the styles and techniques employed by the masters.
Week Two: Creative Installation Exhibition
In the second week’s “Time to Shine” project, students will transform into exhibition curators and artists. Working collaboratively, they will design and create a unique art installation that reflects a contemporary theme or issue they are passionate about. This installation will serve as the centrepiece of their own mini-art exhibition. Students will not only showcase their artistic talents but also communicate a powerful message through their collective creation, demonstrating the impact of art in addressing societal concerns. This project encourages creativity, teamwork, and the exploration of art as a means of conveying powerful messages.
Dive deeper into your field beyond the classroom
Enhance your academic foundation with our comprehensive Industry Experience sessions. These sessions are both on-site, in which you will participate in workshops on-campus that are led by an industry professional and blend practical engagement with immersive learning, and off-site, in which students engage in excursions that complement your course content and will broaden your horizons.
Students will have the privilege of visiting renowned art galleries, immersing themselves in a curated collection of artistic masterpieces, and gaining insights about the intricacies of art creation, curation, and the evolving world of contemporary art and design.
Leaders of today inspiring the Leaders of tomorrow
Every Wednesday morning, students can interact with leading professionals and academics. These sessions offer insightful discussions, expert views, and Q&A sessions that promote intellectual growth.
These sessions illuminate the creative process, the intersection of art with technology, the journey from inspiration to realisation, and the ever-changing dynamics of modern artistic expressions
Stand out and shine
Whether you’re looking to apply for a UK university or just keen to make sure your university application is as strong as possible, our academic coaching sessions aim to ensure you stand apart from your peers.
These workshops will not just focus on writing personal statements and preparing for university, but also help you to develop your public speaking skills, an integral skill for university courses.

I wanted to say thank you for these wonderful days that my daughter Martina had. It was an unforgettable experience. Every night she called me to tell me about all her activities and her classes. As a parent, I am very satisfied because the learning she received will be very useful in her future life at the university. Thanks to all your team members for everything.
