Common questions
Can I study online?
This programme runs both online and on campus. Online cohorts are taught live rather than pre-recorded, so you practise with a teacher present and get corrections in real time.
How much does the programme cost, and when does it start?
Fees and intake dates are confirmed directly with the Foundation, because they vary by cohort and by whether you study online or on campus. Send an enquiry and the team will share current dates and fees for this programme.
