Course summary

BA (Hons) Graphic Design (with Integrated Foundation Year) is a four year degree programme, including a foundation year to help develop your creativity before you embark on year one of a degree. Our well-established BA (Hons) Graphic Design degree course at UCA Farnham is about giving you the knowledge and skills to excel in a wide range of formats - from branding to typography, UI/UX design to print media and digital publishing.
