Course summary

Overview The MA in Visual Communication is delivered through three dynamic and interconnected modes of enquiry. Or, as we call them, ‘ways of working’: exploratory practice, contextual practice, and professional practice. Throughout the course, you’ll master the art of communication across print, digital, and emerging technologies, exploring image-making, typography, interaction, and design, while critically engaging with the social and theoretical contexts of visual media. You’ll have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge tools, including Portsmouth’s industry-leading XR facilities, and collaborate on real-world projects with external professional bodies. You’ll be able to develop expertise in photography, illustration, graphic design, and moving image, while crafting multiplatform storytelling strategies that push creative boundaries. Whether you're a recent graduate refining your creative voice or an industry professional expanding your skillset, this course equips you to communicate complex ideas and create meaningful messaging. Our graduates go on to careers in UX design, publishing, advertising, media production, and beyond, using visual communication to promote diversity, advocate for sustainability, and harness the power of AR and VR to inspire change.
