Course content

Do you have a passion for relaying complex concepts in a way that people can easily understand? Are you interested in creating and applying your own graphical language across subject areas as diverse as type design, illustration, design for print and web, service design, and design for social impact? If so, our MA Visual Communication degree is for you.

In an age of information overload, visual communication professionals have never been more in demand. Designed to equip you with the skills you need for a professional career in the creative industries or digital marketing sector, this master’s in visual communication is focused on industry experience, interdisciplinary collaboration and self-initiated research.

What’s more, you will be studying at the heart of the campus in the New Adelphi building, home to all Art, Design and Creative Technology subjects and facilities, one of the North West’s largest creative hubs, with easy access to creative networking opportunities and world-class technical workshops.

You’ll also be involved in working on live projects throughout your course, working with key cultural organisations across the cities of Salford and Greater Manchester, which could include, amongst others, Hotbed Press, Islington Mill, Salford Museum and Art Gallery, Textbook Studios & Salford Art Collection, Dr Me and Magma Books.

This course is part of our suite of MA Art and Design programmes, which means you also get the opportunity to work collaboratively on a few modules with students from Socially Engaged Art, Socially Engaged Photography, Contemporary Fine Art, and Creative Technology. We welcome and support you to work in a cross-disciplinary with your peers, echoing the way professionals work within the creative industries today.
