Visual Communication – Contemporary Dialogues (MA)

University of Wales Trinity Saint David

This master’s pathway is for applicants who wish to develop a deeper knowledge and understanding of reflective thinking and Visual Communication practice.

Experiences and knowledge drawn from across the pathways will be reflected in your personal core study. Using theory to underpin your practical work will bring a broader level of visual understanding of your practice, which in turn will guide your theory-based research.

What you will learn

The master’s Contemporary Dialogues portfolio at Swansea College of Art offers a unique postgraduate experience.

Graduates and professionals from a wide range of specialities benefit from multidisciplinary learning together with expert lecturers and a broad range of facilities.

You will have the opportunity to draw upon experiences and knowledge from across the different pathways and reflect on this in your own personal study.

The research environment benefits greatly from the input of our teaching staff and visiting lecturers, most of whom are research-active artists, designers, and theoreticians of national and international significance.

In the first part of the programme, you will complete a series of taught modules. You will participate in multidisciplinary exchanges, through seminars and lectures involving students from all programmes within the Contemporary Dialogues portfolio, to stimulate new perspectives and challenge directions. The cross-fertilisation of ideas through such dialogues is expected to promote a rethinking of the perceptions and production techniques appropriate to your discipline.
