MA Communication Design
This unique postgraduate degree enables the study of three connected and key creative industries: illustration, graphic design and publishing. Working in a mixed studio environment, supported by tutorials, lectures and workshops delivered by experienced staff and visiting professionals, you will enhance your practice, boosting your career prospects and employability.
- Personalise your masters. Choose an exit award to reflect your interest in a specific area of expertise.
- Collaborate and grow your skills. Through multidisciplinary sessions and a shared studio space, the programme will nurture a more open and collaborative environment, reflecting current practices in graphic design, illustration and publishing, where traditional skill boundaries have become increasingly blurred.
- Personal studio space. Project based learning and informal dialogue alongside colleagues in the studio is a central feature of the programme and an important part of the learning process.
- Expand your professional network. Engage in knowledge exchange with a number of partners that span book, magazine and journal publishers to design studios and charities.
- Learn by doing. Through a process of learning-by-doing, students develop the skills required to produce creative outputs and research-oriented studies, gain an understanding of the application of technical knowledge to creative situations, and explore how theory and action inform each other.
- State-of-the-art facilities. Benefit from the use of our exciting Digital Fabrication and Immersive Media Laboratories and work with a highly skilled team of technicians who deliver specific practical workshops (as available) in printmaking, letterpress, book binding, photography, ceramics, textiles, wood and metal as well as digital software.
