Graphic Design

Can graphic design make a real difference to people’s lives? Our MA Graphic Design is unique in evolving your design practice while exploring and developing your role as a creative designer who wants to effect social change. This could include issues such as behavioural and perspectival change, community cohesion, integration and diversity, and environmental challenges.

Whatever your background, you will advance your visual practice in the key areas of design, including research, textuality, materiality, concept development, visual communication, and typo/graphic innovation – leading to a more individualised, more coherent, and more competitive professional portfolio. You will augment this with more advanced knowledge of the complexities of socio-environmental problems, gaining insight into institutional and government structures, learning how to collaborate effectively, and rethinking how creative project development and management can play a central role in society.

This will enable you to gain the confidence to progress your career as a graphic designer, and take an active creative role in social and environmental change-making processes.
