START BANGKOK.
A CREATIVE EDUCATION HUB
START Bangkok is where Thailand’s next generation of creatives begin their journeys.
​
We connect local talent with global opportunity through a UK-accredited Foundation Diploma, one-to-one portfolio mentoring, and creative short courses.
​
At START, studio culture, mentorship, and academic credibility come together in the heart of Bangkok.
Foundation Diploma in Art & Design (UK-Accredited)
A one-year programme designed to prepare students for admission to top art and design universities worldwide.
Through structured studio projects and close mentorship, students build the technical and conceptual portfolio required for higher study.
Portfolio Tutoring & Short Courses
Tailored one-to-one and small-group sessions help students strengthen their portfolios and creative confidence.
Short courses introduce new disciplines and techniques, guided by practising designers and educators who bring real-world insight into the classroom.
START Lab
START Lab is the light-filled studio where learning becomes practice — a purpose-built, open-plan environment designed for making, critique, and collaboration.
It’s the physical heart of START’s education model, where students work alongside mentors in a setting that feels both professional and inspiring.
START Community
At START, learning doesn’t end in the classroom — it lives through exhibitions, talks, and collaborations held within Woof Pack’s creative heart in Saladaeng.
From our regular series of Creative Futures panels and student showcases to pop-ups with industry leaders from Bangkok and beyond, our community brings students face-to-face with the people shaping design today.
