Foundation Year in Computing

The course introduces a wide range of IT, communication and study skills that will prepare you for a degree in computing, enabling you to progress onto more advanced study.

The course covers the basics of cutting-edge IT topics, such as computer animation, as well as more familiar office applications, such as spreadsheets and databases. Staff and students work together in a friendly and supportive workshop environment.

Graphic Design and e-Media Foundation Degree (FdA)

By studying this course, you'll be taught both traditional graphic design techniques as well as those utilising new and emerging technologies. You will complete briefs in order to build a portfolio that showcases your ability and potential to gain employment in a variety of diverse and creative fields. Alternatively, you can progress to top up to a full BA (Hons) at DMU. The course is made up of common elements which combine studio practice, contextual studies and subject-specific pathways in graphic design for print or e-media design.

Music Performance Foundation Degree FdA

Develop expertise in music performance, composition, song-writing and production through a range of industry-standard projects and academic work.

You’ll have opportunities to develop your musical skills in your chosen instrument (or vocal) – whether it be pop, rock, jazz or classical. You’ll also be taught how to apply your performance and production skills in commercial environments, such as session musicianship, studio recording, music production and composition for film and TV.

The programme offers access to well-equipped rehearsal spaces, performance areas and recording studios. Leicester College boasts an Apple Pro training centre and an Ableton-certified training centre, which means students have the option to gain professional certification alongside this course
