Course description
BA Graphic Design
Programme
In Year One, students explore their skills through projects which apply principles, concepts, tools and techniques in graphic communication. The emphasis is on creativity, visualisation skills, graphic literacy and problem solving.
In year two, students begin to develop individual pathways within graphic design. Negotiated projects alongside specialist options develop personal creative, academic and practical skills.
In year three students work on a series of personal projects to build their portfolio, as well as acquiring professional skills to help fast-track their career. Students also undertake commercial design briefs and participate in award schemes including D&AD, ISRD and the RSA Student Design Awards.
