The MA Graphic Communication course recognises exciting new directions in the ever-diversifying professional industry and offers you the chance to explore these through your own practice. Whether your personal interest is in typography, packaging, print, branding, digital, moving image, UX/UI or speculative design, on this course you will be able to personalise your learning journey through a modular course structure. Inter-disciplinary and collaborative opportunities, along with specialist theory and practice workshops delivered by experienced practitioners, will help you to critically reflect upon and locate your own practice before you engage with your own bespoke area of investigation and innovation. Complimentary to this is our unique Professional Futures: Graphic Communication module, which is designed to help focus and enhance your future career ambitions, whether those are commercial, experimental, or academic.Within the elective module 'Professional Futures' you will be encouraged to engage with industry research, networking, alumni/expert lectures and to reflect on work-related experiences and practices, whether past, current or future, in order to enhance employability skills. The collaborative and negotiated nature of the project work in this and other modules on the course not only enriches soft skills, but along with the possibility to undertake live briefs and placements, also helps prepare you for future employability. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn entrepreneurship skills through business development courses (such as The Hive’s programme) and attend industry events.
