About Foundation Studies - Art, Design and Architecture (FS022ADA) (108492M) + Diploma - Visual Art (C5414) (108040F)

Foundation Studies - Art, Design and Architecture (FS022ADA) (108492M):
Foundation Studies is delivered by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Training, a fully owned entity of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University. Foundation Studies provides students with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need for their future academic success.

Located in the heart of the vibrant city of Melbourne, close to cafés, shops, arts and entertainment precincts, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Training’s Foundation Studies specialist staff support students every step of the way. The university provides opportunities to develop students' global and social network, setting them up for success at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and into the future.

To ensure students get the best start to their studies, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology has invested in careers counselling, academic and welfare support for international students to access when and where it suits them.

Diploma - Visual Art (C5414) (108040F):
Students will create a professional folio of work. This diploma is taught by practicing artists in real studio environments. All of the staff are practitioners with national and international reputation in the arts. This enables them to connect students to work on projects with industry, other practicing artists, and galleries.

This diploma offers both practical and theoretical subjects, which have been developed in conjunction with the arts industry. It is designed to prepare students for a career in the visual arts or other related creative fields.

On completion of the first year, students can transition to the Advanced Diploma of Visual Arts. This is also a one-year qualification, which allows them to further investigate their creative practice with a more specialized focus.

A major focus is the production of a professional folio of work that reflects personal creativity. The folio will display a sequential development, with emphasis on the acquisition of skills and the adaptation of those skills to the production of artworks with a sound personal philosophical base.

This diploma has a strong focus on exhibition practice and providing practical experience in the arts industry. Students will undertake independent studio practice and develop a wide-range of highly specialized technical, creative and conceptual skills and knowledge.

Please note that applicants from some countries will be required to pay a non-refundable application fee. The fee will go towards the tuition deposit for any students who enrol.
