Course summary

BA (Hons) Graphic Branding and Identity will develop your design communication skills and strategic thinking. You’ll engage with industry to discover how brand strategy leads to design excellence and positive change.

This course explores how brands operate and influence the world—and how we, as designers, can shape them. You’ll learn to create compelling brand identities that resonate with people and drive action, whether that’s buying a product, supporting a cause, or engaging with culture.
