Course summary
MA Visual Communication: Graphic Design is an intensive contemporary programme that combines creative and professional development, experienced within a nurturing, experimental, interdisciplinary, studio-based environment. The course is focused on the development of imaginative and conceptually distinctive visual practices, in which qualities of invention and discovery are underpinned by rigorous specialist expertise, preparing students to achieve a broad range of creative ambitions. During the intensive 12-month programme based in our central Cambridge studios, you will advance a specialist knowledge of your chosen area of communication design, within an imaginative and interdisciplinary context, where you will be encouraged to explore and experiment with new methods, platforms and technologies, helping you to develop an original approach, taking your work in exciting new directions. As well as refining your knowledge of fundamental principles and the traditional print and screen-based skills necessary for future careers in professional practice, you will be encouraged to engage the expanded field of contemporary graphic design, including motion graphics, experimental animation, photographic practices, moving image and typography.
