Course Structure

Year 1

You will explore the fundamental principles of visual communication such as: ideas and concept development, visual language structures, typography, semiotics, and research, all delivered through tutor-initiated studio and client based projects. Professional practice lectures will develop your practical skills and professional knowledge. The teaching of visual language and cultural theory and their application to areas such as branding begin to develop insights into being a professional designer. A series of key ideas lectures will introduce you to several important debates and theories that underpin contemporary art and design. You will be introduced to a range of strategies to help you develop a research methodology and reflective approach to your studies.

Year 2

You will create semi-directed projects and programmes of study, in consultation with tutors, relating to your emerging direction within graphic design. You will address the professional issues of communication by understanding the audience and cultural context of communications and learn how contemporary design agencies operate by embracing the cultural challenges of communication. You will explore the following areas: branding, marketing, motion graphics and video.

Electives - This programme is undertaken by all 2nd year BA students and offers a menu of complementary studies that allows you to broaden your enquiry both in practical terms and in relation to critical and professional contexts. There is the opportunity to strengthen your practice, deepen a particular seam of critical enquiry and expand technical skills in specific media or processes. For example: sound, animation, philosophy, curating, performance.

Year 3

You will be planning, developing and realising your individual, self-initiated programme of study. Through a choice of dissertation, work placement or live project you will explore in depth the context within which you choose to locate your practice. You will develop your ideas using an appropriate research-based methodology and work towards a completed body of work, which will prepare you for ongoing study and professional practice.
