Course summary

Shape behaviour, inform perception, and disrupt narratives. Graphic Design & Communication makes an essential contribution to the material and visual cultures that surround us. An indispensable force that shapes our world, and a catalyst for social, cultural and political change. It has the power to dictate, persuade, and importantly – pose questions. On this degree you will explore the changing landscape and role of graphic design within a 21st-century context, navigating the challenges of globalisation, inclusivity, and sustainability. You will engage with cutting-edge studio practice, collaborate across diverse disciplines, delve deep into methodology and theory, tackle real-world challenges through live briefs with real clients, and embark on self-directed design projects to explore your creativity. We believe that the role of the designer is equally critic, curator, author, craftsperson, philosopher, communicator, collaborator and instigator, and will support you in becoming a skilled practitioner ready for national and international employment.
