MA in Graphic Design & Art Direction is designed for creative practitioners who wish to advance their knowledge, skills and specialism within the field of visual communication.
You will develop a practice-led investigation within this broader context, actively constructing a bespoke body of design knowledge which combines theory, practice, research, entrepreneurship and innovation from a wide range of creative activities.
You will be taught to question and expand your creative thinking and generic design process by developing your analytical skills; engaging in critical dialogues; working independently, collaboratively and across disciplines; and experimenting in a range of directions before delivering professional and innovative outcomes to defined audiences with confidence. All creative activities are supported by strategic thinking and robust methodologies, and informed by practice-led research.
A minimum of 2:2 Honours degree is required. Equivalent EU/international qualifications are also accepted. Applicants who do not meet these criteria will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Other professional qualifications or degree disciplines will be considered on merit and/or with relevant professional experience.
We require the submission of a digital portfolio to evidence design practice and research, and may request an interview as part of the application process.
