Manchester United Season Tickets at UCLan FoC!

Do we have a treat in store for our 2014/15 cohort!

This year we have three season tickets for Manchester United football games.  Students will be able to see their favourite Premiership players in action at Old Trafford.

A little good work certainly deserves a reward so we hope our students enjoy the tickets as much as we've been enjoying them before they arrive.

UFP Art

Our Art students have clearly been busy this year.

Students have the opportunity to progress through either a Creative or Technical Art course in order to develop their knowledge, skills and techniques in preparation for their chosen future Art based degree.

History of Art is integrated into both courses and students have the opportunity to progress onto a wide variety of undergraduate degrees.  This year we have had students going onto BA (Hons) Fashion Promotion with Styling, BA (Hons) Interior Design, BA (Hons) Graphic Design, BSc (Hons) Architecture, BA (Hons) Fashion Photography, BA (Hons) Animation, BA (Hons) Fine Art and BA (Hons) Games Design - to name but a few!

Topics included natural forms, pop art, recycled materials and other cultures and students adapted the topics to meet their discipline.
