The MA Graphic Design course is designed to create accomplished designers and thinkers, whose practice is shaped by innovation in a discipline that is at the forefront of global communication. Central to the course is an intensive practice-led enquiry, which will take the shape of a major project that students will create. Through visual exploration, contextual research and reflection, students will gain a deeper understanding of this exciting discipline. At the start of the course students will work on short projects which are aimed at challenging conventions and giving them the intellectual grounding that they need for their MA project. Students will then focus on a subject of their choice and through research, development and testing, create a bespoke design project which truly represents their own specific interests as a designer. Students will also benefit from working alongside other Masters students from Branding and Identity, Design and Illustration, providing them with the opportunity to collaborate.
