Course Details

BA(Hons) Graphic Design

Course Description

Put simply, our aim is to give you the experience, confidence and creative skills to allow you to stand out from the crowd when you graduate. We’re good at what we do and we have a fantastic record of getting students into work. You’re with us for three years, but it’s what you achieve after you graduate that’s really important. During Year One, working closely with staff in a professional studio environment, we build your confidence and help you develop your ideas by looking at all aspects of design through a series of imaginative briefs that address core themes, issues and technical skills. These themes are further explored in an integrated design theory module. We are renowned for our teaching of drawing (including life drawing) and typography and you also develop your two-dimensional and moving image skills using our state-of-the-art digital resources and technical workshops.
