How You Study

In the first year, students are encouraged to work in both traditional and digital media while studying the fundamental principles of graphic design. The course introduces the creative methods needed in the industry to answer briefs, solve communication problems, and meet deadlines, alongside a theory course that underpins the social context and history of the subject.

This knowledge is taken further in the second year, where more advanced concepts of graphic design are introduced. The third year provides an opportunity for students to develop their own specialism with a range of projects to choose from, including projects set by industry. The third year culminates in a physical or online end-of-year degree show.

During the three years of the course, students are encouraged to undertake competition briefs or apply to recognised industry award schemes. The course has an impressive track record of success with the YCN Awards, British Book Design & Publication Awards, the RSA Student Design Awards, Adobe Top Talent Awards, and many others. Depending on the award scheme, these offer opportunities for networking, industry recognition, placements and bursaries.

As the course progresses, students will develop a professional portfolio of work through a mixture of studio projects and independent, collaborative, and industry-led briefs.

Studio practice is a key element of this course, and students will have the opportunity to spend a lot of time in creative studio environments. Teaching and learning experiences may include online and studio activities, peer groups, lectures, workshops, seminars, and group tutorials. Students can also benefit from one-to-one tutorials, portfolio reviews, and self-initiated work experience.

Contextual Studies 1 2024-25DES1001MLevel 42024-25This module is designed to introduce students to relevant concepts, debates, and case studies relating to the nature creativity and the creative process, as the basis for the development of a reflective creative practice. This aims to compliment and underpin the studio work students carry out with the programme-specific team during the rest of their programme of study.CoreDesign Fundamentals 1 2024-25GRA1184MLevel 42024-25This module introduces students to key visual design principles, research, ideation, development, presentation, and the digital tools required to facilitate and demonstrate visual concepts. The work in this module equips students with the technical proficiency required to support independent study, underpinned by user-centred design theories and methodologies. Students are encouraged to explore a range of ideas both individually and collaboratively with outputs via workshops, critiques, and independent study. CoreGraphic Communication 1 2024-25GRA1185MLevel 42024-25This module is concerned with introducing students to the fundamental and underlying principles of graphic communication design practice along with the skills and processes that support it. The programme of study will explore a range of creative strategies that consider the relationship between form, structure, content and audience. Students will also be introduced to appropriate graphic design terminology, theories, and principles.CoreVisual Expression 1 2024-25GRA1186MLevel 42024-25This module aims to introduce students to visual expression and personal creative development through the means of appropriate media and processes as they relate to the broad nature of communication design and graphic design practice. The learning experience is intended to initiate a process of experimentation, speculation, innovation and personal exploration. Key to the module is the initial development of the students’ own visual voice.CoreContextual Studies 2 2025-26DES2001MLevel 52025-26Building upon issues concerning the development of a reflective creative practice, Contextual Studies 2 introduces students to relevant concepts, debates, and case study examples concerning the professional, economic, and socio-cultural contexts of design within the creative industries. It will also discuss ethical issues as they relate to this professional context of the creative industries and shape the creative motivations of areas such as design activism, ecological orientations, and socially engaged creative practices. These themes and debates will form an overarching discussion of professional design practice.CoreDesign Fundamentals 2 2025-26GRA2188MLevel 52025-26This module extends the technical proficiency, study and investigation of visual communication, with an emphasis on new digital mediums. The module expands on previous skills and theory from level 1, such as working with Interaction, User Interface, and User experience design in order to produce material for digital and print distribution. As such, Design Fundamentals 2 builds on the necessary skills to develop a broad range of artefacts at a higher visual, conceptual standard. Students expand on the range of exciting possibilities for visual communication and are encouraged to explore the visual / aesthetic, functionality, effects and navigation, particular to the individual’s creative direction, to create a rich variety of experimental aesthetics and visual experiences. CoreGraphic Communication 2 2025-26GRA2189MLevel 52025-26This module encourages a conceptual approach to graphic design work and problem solving whilst developing the highly professional and technical aspects of study acquired in other areas of the course at level two. Students may gain experience of solving client-related communication problems, meeting client expectations, and presenting creative and original solutions and findings through design projects that reference ethical and social issues.CoreVisual Expression 2 2025-26GRA2190MLevel 52025-26In Year 2, this module focuses on the further development of your creative and conceptual skills, (building on the learning begun at Level 1). The creative and conceptual approaches to problem solving you develop in this module are complimentary to, and symbiotically linked to the skills necessary to successfully complete all the briefs in other modules. The module operates on the notion that the student’s creative personal development and individual visual voice is developed through familiarity with a broad range of media and creative practices. Students may therefore, explore the various facets of visual communication with the intention of communicating complex and varied messages to a range of audiences. Embracing the ethos of creative risk taking, speculation and individuality underpins the rationale behind Visual Expression 2.CoreContextual Studies 3 2026-27DES3001MLevel 62026-27Contextual Studies 3 is an independent research study module which takes the form either of a dissertation and/or a number of other options. The module offers students an opportunity to explore in depth a topic of their own choice, chosen generally, but not exclusively in relation to the practice and/or context of their programme-specific studies and studio practice.CoreDesign Fundamentals 3 2026-27GRA3178MLevel 62026-27This module focuses on the transition from student to designer, and is aligned with the expectations of the Graphic Design and related industries. The module focuses on reinforcing the process of applied theories, fundamentals and principles particular to Graphic Design practice. Students will be expected to complete specific stand-alone project outcomes, but also those which relate to those for the Visual Expression 3 and Graphic Communication 3 modules. A large part of the Design Fundamental 3 module aims to allow students to prepare themselves for their personal career paths through links to industries, portfolio reviews, talks and workshops with practicing creatives and a psychologist in order to allow students to complete their studies full of confidence and positivity for life after graduation.CoreGraphic Communication 3 2026-27GRA3179MLevel 62026-27This is a module that allows students to determine their own programme of study within their chosen specialism in graphic design. Projects may be chosen from a range of areas within the subject by negotiation with academic staff. At this level Graphic Design students accept full responsibility for initiating and selecting the content of their study programme, according to their specific interests and career aspirations. The themes studied in preceding Visual Expression modules are further developed at this level. This would include aspects of personal creative development, the further development of a visual voice along with the exploration and exploitation of a broad range of traditional and digital media. The aim is to provide the student with an opportunity to be innovative and where appropriate include authorial content in their work.CoreVisual Expression 3 2026-27GRA3180MLevel 62026-27This is a module that allows students to determine their own programme of study within their chosen specialism in graphic design.
