This graphic design degree will give you the means to develop your own unique visual identity and find work in this important creative discipline. 

This course focuses on the practice and application of graphic design. The practical skills you develop will be backed up by theoretical and contextual studies of graphic design in history and culture.

While your studies are founded on traditional and established graphic design processes and principles, they also embrace the future of design. This means you will cover a broad range of study areas, including:

• typography
• print design
• illustration
• design development
• motion graphics
• web design
• design for mobile devices
• animation
• conceptual design thinking

You will have access to a variety of specialist equipment, including computer labs and digital print, photography and video studios. Through studio-based work you will develop the skills and competencies to become a capable professional. 

As this course is taught from our main campus in Ealing, we integrate London exhibitions, gallery shows, design lectures and other events into our study programme, bringing the best in design into your classroom.

The select number of places available on our BA (Hons) Graphic Design means that we can offer you the one-to-one support you need to learn to express yourself visually. You will be taught using a range of methods, including:

This combination of teaching methods will help you to build the practical, conceptual and strategic skills you need to become a respected designer. 

A graphic design career can take you in a number of inspiring directions. Once you complete your graphic design degree, you could go on to work in: 

• graphic design studios
