Course summary
On this course you will have the opportunity to develop your creative and technical skills in graphic design. You will undertake a range of vocational projects which challenge you to provide communication and design solutions in the areas of publishing, advertising, corporate work, publicity information and new and emerging media. Ideas are at the heart of the course and there is a strong emphasis on practical experimental work. You will be challenged to respond to vocational based briefs in a creative and considered way, evaluating and analysing your work as you progress. This course will develop both your creative and technical skills and at all stages you will be taught how to use established and emerging media through workshops, tutorials and seminars delivered by experienced industry professionals. This course provides a stand-alone qualification with the opportunity to progress onto either the second or final year of a BA/BSc honours top-up course at the University of Hertfordshire, if you want to, and you won’t need to apply through UCAS again. Progression is dependent on your results.
