Course summary
The BA (Hons) Graphic Design course is all about encouraging your creativity and helping you think critically about your ideas. By the time you graduate, you'll be an independent thinker who understands how theory influences your work. You'll have a solid grasp of modern graphic design, responsible practices, creative processes, and methods. You'll build confidence and skills in various areas of graphic design, including branding, sustainable packaging, typography, editorial and digital design, copywriting, imagery, print, experiential design, material culture, and physical production. Our collaborative learning spaces and critique sessions allow students and staff to tackle real-world design challenges together. Our curriculum keeps you up-to-date with the expanding and evolving creative industry. For example, as technology evolves, conceptual thinking and visual problem-solving remain as key skills. Throughout the course we will help you integrate these skills into your practice and prepare you for the growing design industry.
