Course summary

This is a practical postgraduate course in Visual Communication, grounded in professional development and research. You’ll produce Visual Communication projects in a collaborative and creative environment, working with and alongside students of Design, Graphics, Illustration and Textiles, as well as Photography and other Fine Art specialisms. You’ll build a strong professional context for your practice and receive excellent academic and technical support from specialist practitioners, technical demonstrators, designers, researchers, theorists, professors and lecturers. On successful completion of the course, your increased confidence and abilities will be clearly evident in the portfolios you’ve developed, and you'll be ready to move into industry or to continue to further study. Working alongside other postgraduate students from Design, Illustration, Graphics, Textiles and Fine Art pathways, you’ll develop your own projects while undertaking practice-led research, theory and professional practice modules. Specialist tutors and technicians will guide your progress, supporting you to create your own approach and make coherent and visually exciting Visual Communication outcomes. You'll use subject-specific studios and workshops and have access to technical equipment, specialist software and computers. Our excellent art and design library provides access to printed books, ebooks, magazines and periodicals and a range of other resources through interlibrary loans. You will be supported by a dedicated art and design librarian and an enthusiastic team. The MA Design (Visual Communication) programme culminates in a public exhibition. Our aim is for you to graduate with a broad, informed outlook, a genuine and proven confidence in your abilities and the professional skills necessary to succeed in your chosen specialism.
