BA (Hons) Graphic Design

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.

From September 2013 we will also be offering this course as a four year course which includes a preparatory year (year 0) which provides a focused introduction to graphic design, for more information see the four year course pages.
