Graphic Design
On our Graphic Design course you'll be involved in the exciting and evolving future of graphic design where developments in communication media, the internet and screen based moving image will offer you many opportunities. You will learn about design for all kinds of printed magazines and advertising material, typography and web design as well as more fundamental elements of art and design such as colour, spatial awareness, layout, concept development and industry standard software.
Have you thought about taking our MDes?
It's an undergraduate and postgraduate course combined. You'll study for four years and gain a masters degree in Graphic Design.
It means you don't have to worry about the expense and inconvenience of relocating for a separate postgraduate year. And you can get a student loan for all 4 years of the course. Find out more.
Real projects
You'll get briefs from clients and top design consultancies. These projects will give you a taster of what it's really like to work in the industry and are great experience. Recently our students have worked with British Telecom, Rolls-Royce, Coley Porter Bell, Lloyd Northover and Landor design agencies. The course is a member of D&AD (Design and Art Direction) and you will benefit from their visiting professionals, national competitions, expert lectures and seminars. Plus you'll have an opportunity to show your work at their London Show called 'New Blood'.
You could also join the thriving community of artists, designers and makers who have businesses at the University's Banks Mill Studios. As well as providing workspace, we provide business support activity including one-to-one advice, workshops, seminars and bi-annual Open Studios.
