Course summary

This one year Top-up degree will enable students to build on the professional skills developed in Level 4/5 or HND courses, ready for a wide range of roles within the contemporary design field. The course promotes design learning with related disciplines, encouraging a creative approach to design thinking and production. We encourage our students to be innovators within chosen areas of design such as Illustration, Multi-media, Web Design, Photography and Motion Graphics. The complex approaches to design no longer demand specialists but rather designers who work within the convergence of boundaries. With the merger of new technologies and ensuing media revolution there is an amplified need for designers who understand the multiplicity of the screen as much as conventional design practices, an opportunity to be a facilitator for change. What qualification will I achieve? You will graduate with a BA (Hons) Design, awarded by the University of East Anglia. You will be invited to our graduation ceremony where you will collect your certificate and celebrate your achievements. What can I do after completing this course? The combination of design and project management experience results in a high employment success rate, with graduates going on to further study (e.g. PGCE or specialist MA courses) whilst many more find employment in the widest range of organisations in the Creative Industries such as Graphic Designer, User Experience (UX) Designer, User Interface (UI) Designer, Product Designer, Brand Designer, Web Designer, Motion Designer, Advertising Designer, Packaging Designer, Interior Designer, Illustrator, Art Director, Creative Director, Exhibition Designer, Marketing Designer, Multimedia Designer, 3D Designer.
