The BDes (Hons) Graphic Design (Top-up) will enable you to challenge yourself with a range of design projects set by tutors, external design agencies, and international design bodies. You will be encouraged to explore, experiment, and innovate as you learn how to turn your ideas into high quality design concepts. Professional industrial knowledge is built into both the practical design aspects of the programme and within the theoretical components. All programme staff actively work within the creative sector allowing for rapid updating of curriculum content based on the needs of the local, regional and national design landscape; keeping the programme and content inspiring and relevant. All programme staff have experience of working on, managing and executing a huge variety of design projects; and are fully conversant with the mechanisms that allow real-world/live assessment briefs to be successfully completed. Working with our industry partners, you'll gain an understanding of contemporary branding and marketing design, and develop skills in typographic/editorial design, print, website, social media, and motion graphic design.

Formative assessment and clear, developmental feedback and assessment are core to the teaching and learning experience. Student presentations, portfolio reviews, self and peer assessment, tutorials, seminar presentations and studio critique sessions, are all designed to mirror a real world studio-based culture, where the dynamic exchange of ideas, creative dialogue and shared critical reflection are all vital in the creation of a genuinely supportive, collaborative and dynamic creative space that enables and supports opportunities for formative feedback and assessment, both verbal and written, to take place on a regular basis. The fundamental approach to assessment recognises that the acquisition of knowledge is cumulative, and requires students to demonstrate this at different levels. Achievement of learning outcomes is facilitated by a system of academic guidance and supervision designed to ensure that a common understanding of progress is achieved and strategies for improvement defined. The curriculum is designed to encourage independence in learning and the accompanying assessment strategy ensures that students receive appropriate feedback to improve skills, capabilities and awareness of how successfully they have applied an increasingly sophisticated knowledge base to their studies. The teaching, learning and assessment strategy aims to facilitate a learning process in which students can develop a range of creative, cognitive, collaborative, technical and personal skills, knowledge and capabilities appropriate to the subject and future career paths. Assessment is not seen as separate from the learning process, throughout the professional life of the student and practitioner continuous formative assessment through student/staff contact and peer/client contact, is integral to the creative process. Throughout the studio practice there are the elements of trial and error, and continuous objective and subjective analysis through debate between individual students, student groups, and staff. This studio based creative dialogue and critical reflection informs assessment in a myriad of ways, respecting the student’s uniqueness as individuals within a creative and collaborative cohort. Summative points of assessment occur at the conclusion of each module at the end of the relevant Semester, with the exception of ‘The Designer’ which runs across Semester 1 and 2, and has an assessment stage at the mid-point of the module at the end of Semester 1, this will take the form of a VIVA session, during which the students will present their creative practice as a work in progress and give an indication of their continued creative direction for Semester 2, this should serve as an opportunity to make sure they are on track, prepared and focused for Semester 2.
