UCAS code

W210 E BA/GD

Graphic Design influences every aspect of people's lives and communicates a multitude of messages through a multitude of media. From the commercial, radical, political, religious, scientific or intensely personal, visual design helps us cross the road, buy products or services, prevent the spread of illness and challenge injustice. Throughout history this practice has had a profound effect on the development and exchange of global culture and carries enormous power and responsibility.

Key study topics include:

  • Experiment with the use of tools, methodologies, stratagems and tactics
  • The relationships of form, content, context and meaning: activism, consumerism, manifestos, ethics and politics
  • Develop practical and thinking skills and self-directed practice.
  • Explore the uses and misuses of rational and irrational hierarchies, narratives, systems and maps
  • Analyse the ethics, politics and logistics of application, engagement and exposition
  • Application, competition, externalisation, collaboration, vocation and exploitation
  • Final major project, dissertation and exhibition.
