Our Graphic Design BA seeks to inspire creative confidence and innovation in the discipline through its approach to teaching, ensuring students gain real-world experience and develop a wide range of practical, creative and conceptual skills, explored thoroughly through thinking and making.

Our students are encouraged to engage with the world around them through live briefs, socially and globally engaged studio projects and engagement with commercial practice. Throughout the course, students have frequent opportunities to establish links with the creative industries within and beyond graphic design so that they can understand the expectations of the industry and the opportunities available to them.

Across the three years of study students have the benefit of talks by leading industry practitioners, feedback sessions with prominent designers, live briefs involving interactions with the clients and visits to a wide range of professional graphic design studios. The course has excellent well-established links with cultural institutions and design studios that enable these employment-focused collaborations. Graduates are prepared for demands of their ever-changing creative industry through becoming creative, inquisitive, professional, experimental, critical, resourceful, highly skilled and individually distinctive graphic designers.
