Who's It For?
Who's It For?
The Wild is the first 6 months of the 2 year pathway at Foundry. That means whichever pathway you choose you’ll start in The Wild. It’s in The Wild that you’ll learn the fundamental skills you’ll need to succeed in any creative field. For those who don’t yet know what they want to do, The Wild gives you time to taste a range of fields and figure it out. For those who already know which pathway they’ll pick, The Wild provides the perfect foundation.
A New Way To Learn
A New Way To Learn
Whether you’re coming into Foundry after 12 years of education, or you’re ready to shift careers, The Wild is built with these varied backgrounds in mind. We take time to introduce you to the Foundry model of learning before you embark on the rest of your 2 year journey. You’ll have time to get your head around how we do things: small class sizes, collaboration, up-to-date content, teachers who work in their respective fields, and a strong intersect with industry.
Find Your Passion
Find Your Passion
You might know you are creative and that you can’t see yourself working a conventional job, or doing the same thing day in, day out. But what does that mean for your future? Your education so far may not have prepared you for career prospects in web, virtual reality, social media, design, emerging technology or many others. Not only do you need to trial all the creative disciplines, in many instances you may need to discover they exist. We have designed The Wild to showcase the full spectrum of creative pathways available to you so that you can trial them and move forward knowing where you want to specialise.

During your time in The Wild, and throughout your journey, you get access to our creative day conferences called Foundry LIVE.
