Course summary

As a part of the creative community at Chester, you will develop an innovative, individual visual language that aims to deal with the demands of an intensively competitive global marketplace. At Level 4, we encourage confidence and understanding by creating a ‘hands-on’ multidiscipline studio atmosphere built around Skills Acquisition and Playful Risk Taking. Experimental practice and guidance will provide you with the core skills of design and the opportunities to explore new and unique solutions. At Level 5, the emphasis becomes Design Through Research, considering the needs of client and audience. You’ll explore the cultural, social and ethical concerns of design and will develop your position on issues such as representation, sustainability and evolving technologies such as VR and AI and their social, commercial and entrepreneurial possibilities. To ensure you're future-ready, we embed employability and entrepreneurial skills across our curriculum, and Level 5 also offers the opportunity to experience graphic design in the real world through a work placement module and an optional year in industry (4-year degree). This optional year in industry will allow you to embark on a relevant placement within the industry area of your choosing, allowing you to apply current skills and better understand the demands of the commercial world. At Level 6, you focus on your own Authorship and Professionalism within the discipline, defining your own briefs and shaping your portfolio to reflect the designer you are and the career you want. The final year provides experiences to engage with employers and employment scenarios, mock interviews, portfolio surgeries and pitches to clients within a safe environment. Development of these transferable skills will support the vision of your creative work when pursuing graphic design as a social and commercial activity.
