Profile
Graphic Design is an internationally recognized program that demonstrates how communication design is socially, culturally, and economically engaged across a broad spectrum of media platforms and technologies. This innovative program, with a unique focus on complex and diverse real-world problems, combines the best principles of traditional, new, and emergent graphic design practices to produce highly employable and entrepreneurial graduates with transferable skills that are much sought after by the industry. Graphic Design builds on the success of the Visual Communication Design program, retaining its emphasis on crafting and shaping text and images into coherent and inventive stories, visual artifacts, products, systems, services, and experiences. The program further builds on its core principle of interdisciplinarity, by expanding into new fields and blending practices in line with the rapidly changing nature of contemporary design and technology. This unique offering, combined with the options of industry placements and study abroad, in addition to small class sizes and a dedicated team of full-time staff, ensures a high-quality educational experience, which attracts many overseas applicants. Graphic Design has a broad range of Erasmus partnerships in Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain, and is constantly expanding this network. The option to study abroad through the Erasmus Programme is available for one semester in either Years 2 or 3. What will I do?
