This initial year is designed to allow you to explore a broad range of media, approaches and concepts in arts and design, and to develop your own distinctive voice and direction for future success.
BA(Hons) Visual Communication
Our BA Visual Communication degree offers students the exciting possibility to explore the intersection where illustration, design, and creative practice meet. Through this course, students will gain a solid grounding in the principles of communication whilst developing their individual artistic potential.
During studio-based design projects, set and live project briefs, self-initiated work, specialist workshops and lectures, students will learn how to give a message shape and form using creativity to generate influence. Workshops may include photography, printmaking, software, and motion graphics.
Our small class sizes ensure that students receive frequent one-to-one guidance from our highly-skilled lecturers, allowing for a more tailored learning experience. By the end of the course, students will have the tools to help define their future and find an individual voice within the field of Visual Communication.
