The department offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, providing a resourceful backdrop for the creative industry comprising sectors such as graphics design, film production, digital, interactive and emerging technologies, 2D and 3D animation, and traditional and modern media and communication, among others. Our flagship programmes are BA (Hons) Graphics Design and MA Graphics Design. We take pride in being the first institution in Mauritius to have established Graphics Design as a programme for both undergraduate and postgraduate levels back in the late 2000s. Since then, we have expanded and added other programmes as assets, making the department a solid platform to prepare our students for a career that combines various forms of arts, designs, communications and technologies.
