The BA (Hons) Graphic Arts & Design course is known for its inclusive and open embrace of all forms of graphic arts and design. The emphasis is firmly set on exploration, experimentation, encouragement and enjoyment. The course has an unusual profile recognising that once discrete disciplines with graphic arts and design have now converged, offering the opportunity to engage with a broad range of activities within a single integrated course. It promotes the cohabitation of ideas and process, encourages a culture of creative independence and supports the emergence of a personal graphic language, producing creative thinkers and problem solvers. The course's media-neutral approach allows students to access many areas of graphic arts and design processes in well equipped workshops, computing and editing suites.
The diverse range of practice and process you can engage with are animation, broadcast graphics, illustration, design for print, web design, photography, art direction, advertising, traditional print and digital imaging and editing, typography, letter press and bookwork. The studios are large and open and function as artist's studios, lecture rooms, stages, film theatres, exhibition galleries, dance floors, and personal study space. [more information]
