Introduction to the Programme

The MA Graphic Design programme explores the ever-changing landscape of graphic design
to build critical understanding, individual design thinking processes, practical experience and insightful design solutions. The course offers areas of specialism in typography, branding, editorial and book design, and digital interactive experiences.

Course Highlights

We take a problem-solving approach to graphic design to explore contemporary practice through design thinking, insight and co-design processes and building expert collaborative networks. We are a diverse collective, working across project areas of typography and information design, brand identity and campaigns, new technology and digital experiences, design writing and insight analysis, sustainability and environmental issues, structural packaging and book design.

With the addition of this programme to our School of Art and Design, we intend for our graduates to become leaders in the field in the MENA region, contributing substantially to the development of the discipline through design authorship, critical debate, research and contemporary practice.

Course programme

Programme Content

The majority of the programme will be centred upon developing and fully completing a substantial body of graphic design work towards an external public exhibition. This will be supported by research reports and regular presentations on the progress of the project. You will also address postgraduate research and critical debates in graphic design. You will gain the skills and experience to produce professional graphic design work in any industry, and the ability to independently plan, design, implement and evaluate graphic design projects from start to finish.

    • Developing Practice (30 Credits) - Compulsory

      In this module you will explore a chosen area of graphic design in a contemporary context while enhancing your technical skills. You will employ a variety of reflective methods to develop your own creative research proposal with the advanced communication skills to present, discuss and evaluate your work effectively.

    • Critical Debates (30 Credits) - Compulsory

      In this module you’ll explore the key concepts, ideas, issues and research methodologies relating to the practice and theory of graphic design. With particular focus on the cultural and social contexts within your chosen discipline, you’ll produce a portfolio of critical responses to contemporary debates in research and professional practice.

    • Vision and Authorship (30 Credits) - Compulsory

      In this module you will develop a focused line of enquiry which demonstrates critical practice informed by current debates in graphic design. You will explore new insights that challenge preconceptions within the professional practice of graphic design while developing the skills, knowledge and research to advance your proposed design project.

    • Advanced Research (30 Credits) - Compulsory

      In this module you will examine a diverse range of advanced approaches to graphic design research using both historical and contemporary sources, and explore the work of practitioners and scholars in your chosen area of graphic design and the contemporary research problems they face.
