Study Details: MA 2 years part-time – online
In a noisy global landscape dominated by visual communication, forging a solid creative identity can be a major challenge for graphic designers. Our comprehensive, multi-disciplinary course will equip you with the ability to elevate your creative practice and so much more. With units focused on urgent global issues such as sustainability, inclusivity and human-centric design, you’ll embark on a transformative journey that empowers you to help people and the planet.
Today’s business market is in high demand for graphic designers who can think laterally, apply critical thinking to their own practice, and engage meaningfully with the world around them. While day-to-day professional experience is invaluable, it takes outstanding academic teaching rigour, theoretical knowledge and contemporary research resources to raise your discipline to the next level.
Our course seamlessly blends theory and practice centred around the three pillars of design: Design Strategy, Usability, and Creativity. Together with your peers, you’ll explore your discipline through critical debate, theoretical enquiry, and multi-modal practice.
We encourage applications from students with a broad range of qualifications and we welcome students from all educational backgrounds. We’ll take into account the knowledge and skills that you have developed outside the classroom, as well as your previous qualifications.
There are two different routes to entry: the standard and non-standard routes. Admissions staff will assess entries to determine which route is appropriate for you when you apply.
Standard Route
You'll usually have BA (Hons) Degree graded at 2.2 or above, or an equivalent UK or international qualification in graphic design or the following related subjects: illustration, animation, photography, art or media.
Non-standard Route
If you don’t have the standard academic qualifications, you could still be considered for entry if there’s sufficient evidence to indicate that you can fulfil the objectives of the course of study and achieve the standard of the final award. An example of this would be to showcase a portfolio of work as requested by the admissions team.
We also welcome applications from anyone with other qualifications or work experience that demonstrates appropriate knowledge and skills to study at postgraduate level.
