Course Summary

Our BA (Hons) in Graphic Design is partnered with the course at UCLan and shares the same ethos, providing a broad and progressive education for the creative industries. You will produce dynamic solutions to problems through creative thinking and a flexible approach to a diverse range of assignment briefs, competitions and live assignments. You will be inspired to produce creative design solutions, respond to change, be innovative and a great communicator. You will learn to develop idea-led solutions, embracing the digital while preserving traditional processes of design production and thinking.
