Preparatory year, Year 1 - LAB 1

LEARN and DISCOVER
With 27 hours of weekly classes and the same number of hours work to be done in your own time at home, the year's teaching programme is intensive and densely packed. This first year, which is one of discovery and learning the basics, is an essential preparation before going onto a more advanced level of study.
With a focus on self-discovery and finding the right direction, the aim of the preparatory year is to provide the student with some basic structure and lay the foundations for what they are to acquire over the years to come.
