Graphic Design MA: Course features

If you choose to study this course, here are some of the things you can expect from the course and how it will benefit you.

• The Graphic Design MA focuses on extending possibilities of visual communication. You underpin this with an understanding of the business and social context.
• A series of projects enable you to challenge conventions and develop new skills using both traditional and current technologies. We often run these with students and professionals from other disciplines - such as musicians, scientists, product designers and architects.
• The masters project allows you to build on this and produce a sustained body of original work, extending the boundaries of a particular area of communication design. It culminates in a gallery assessment show.
• Many members of staff are professional designers, which keeps your learning cutting-edge.
• Alongside your academic studies, you develop workplace skills in:
  • problem solving and organisation;
  • data collation, review and synopsis;
  • communication (oral, written and electronic);
  • time management;
  • computing; and
  • co-operation and teamwork.
• We offer a part-time study option to help you fit your MA around other commitments.
