Course content

Today’s creative image-maker has the opportunity to move into uncharted territory as the traditional boundaries of the graphic designer, illustrator, and artist increasingly overlap. Our BA Visual Communication degree offers you the exciting possibility to explore the intersection where illustration, design, and creative practice meet. Through this course, you will gain a solid grounding in the principles of communication as we encourage you to test and stretch your creative boundaries, whilst developing your individual artistic potential.

During studio-based design projects, set and live project briefs, self-initiated work, specialist workshops and lectures, you will learn how to give a message shape and form using creativity to generate influence. Workshops may include photography, printmaking, software, and motion graphics.

You will be given the freedom to explore innovative and experimental methods to develop your practice as a professional visual designer. Our small class sizes ensure that you will receive frequent one-to-one guidance from our highly-skilled lecturers, allowing for a more tailored learning experience. By the end of the course, you will have the tools to help define your future and find an individual voice within the field of Visual Communication. You will also have the opportunity to showcase your work through exhibitions and industry events in both Cambridge and London.
