Once students notice it, they will see graphic design everywhere. It has rapidly accelerated in a digital, globally networked world and it offers a rewarding career trajectory. Based in our industry-standard studios, students work with experienced academics and designers who support them to create their own palette of styles and approaches. Students spend time collaborating with their peers to gain new perspectives, developing their creative voice and practice.
Responding to live briefs and developing personal projects, they create a substantial portfolio through their degree and gain an understanding of wider global contexts, sustainability and the changing shape of equality and diversity. Recent students have worked with the North York Moors National Park Authority, ITV/Signpost Productions and the National Horizons Centre. Alongside this, a team of leading designers, employers and alumni, support them in adapting their work to meet a brief, from concept and planning work, pitching an idea on paper, screen and in person, to meeting a deadline. Students also have opportunities for field trips, fellowships and international mobility with our partners in Prague, Dubai and India.
