GRAPHICS DESIGN B.A. (HONS) – UK

It is hard to imagine a world without pictures, symbols, or signs. Visual communication is the prime directive of Graphic Designers. They play a key role in the transferal of information within our society. At the Academy of Design, the Graphic Design programme is a three-year degree that combines creative thinking with commercial practice, imagination with technique, and innovation with wisdom. With its state of the art facilities, award winning lecturers and UK Northumbria University School of Design partnership, the Academy of Design is the first to offer a UK Bachelors Honours degree in Graphic Design. This degree program aims to build professional designers and expert visual communicators. The Academy believes in excellent research, concept development, experimentation, analysis and critical awareness. The programme fosters an ideal environment for Graphic Design studies within the specialization of Branding, Image-making or Publishing.

The first year of study provides an underpinning of knowledge prior to a specialized approach in Years 2 and 3, giving each student a learning experience with greater depth and breadth. The foundation of theoretical, historical, cultural and professional contexts is given throughout the programme via lectures, visiting industry professionals, craftsmen, technicians, live projects, entry to international competitions, and a staffing balance of both full-time educators and associate lecturers with significant industry experience.
