Students on our BA (Hons) Graphic Design explore visual language and solve design briefs using both traditional print-based solutions and modern commercial practices. We encourage them to come up with ideas that challenge traditional notions of design or visual communication.
This not only prepares them to work as a graphic designer, but also in design-related roles in digital graphics, online media, communications and marketing, publishing, and advertising.
