Course Summary

Students on this exciting hybrid programme will gain the necessary knowledge and experience of design principles and fundamentals that underpin graphic design and illustration practice past and present.

You will have the opportunity to participate in ‘live’ projects, work collaboratively or in teams, and attend freelance and networking events. Upon successful completion of this course, you will have the confidence and ability to use your skills in numerous ways, choosing career paths such as graphic design, illustration, art direction (in graphics or advertising), animation, web-design, surface design, or participation in arts-based projects within the community.
