This course allows students to develop their professional and educational profile, alongside employment or other commitments. With a similar curriculum to our full-time MA Graphic Design / Illustration / Branding degrees, this part-time course offers a more flexible engagement for students, in order to suit their individual needs. Depending on the students’ interests, they can study a range of specialist topics including graphics, illustration, branding and identity, and digital interactive media. Students can choose to either propose and develop their own practical project, or opt to research and write a dissertation based on a topic of their choice. The MA Graphic Design Theory and Practice degree is ideal for those who: want to continue their design education alongside employment; are a professional who wants to develop new skills and knowledge in their design practice; or are someone who wants to follow a more academic career as a researcher, writer, commentator or educator.
