Arts University Bournemouth’s graduates go on to play an active role in the creative industries, from branding consultancies to digital design, publishers to packaging. Many of the graduates have established their companies. Experimentation and discovery are important values on this course. There is no ‘right answer’ and students will be supported to find their path as they learn more skills. In addition to developing creative design strategies, faculty encourage them to bring their experiences and interests to their work.
As a graphic designer, students will have to make decisions in complex and unpredictable situations. They will have to react quickly to new information, evolving briefs and advances in technology. On this course, students learn to innovate under pressure and handle issues such as user- centered design, sustainability, emerging technology, service design, information design and interactive design. They will engage with leading design companies who set briefs, give talks, and help to develop the curriculum. They will discover their approach to visual problem solving and graduate with the technical, critical, and conceptual skills that are highly prized by the industry.
