The MA Graphics Design is ideally suited to recent graduates eager to develop and extend their skills; innovative and motivated practitioners keen to progress and find a personal direction within the breadth and depth of the discipline. The course encourages advanced level of research, promoting critical analysis and exploration yet providing thorough approach to practice and theory.

The purpose of this programme is to educate and train professional designers to work both autonomously and in teams, with the ability to respond and adapt to the demands of a rapidly changing society. Much emphasis is placed on reflective practice, innovation, critical judgement, and effective industrial skills associated with both independent practice and team work, through awareness, understanding and analysis of current freelance, consultancy and design employment in relationship to contemporary society. Students are encouraged to firmly support their development within a professional context by testing and applying their work in ‘real’ world situations and scenarios – creating links with industry and the professional design community. This also opens future possibilities for employment and entrepreneurship on graduating from the course.
