Our Graphic Design and Graphic Illustration courses offer you control over your creative direction and career ambitions. Because we teach both degrees together, you are not tied to one study route for instance, if you develop a passion for illustration you can transfer to Graphic Illustration to study that pathway in much more depth.Our programme is delivered as a series of related modules that cover the technical, creative and contextual aspects of graphic design to enhance your personal development and career goals. We offer technical support such as enhancement workshops and business skills sessions, and you have generous open access opportunities to facilities for self-study.We encourage work placements for all of our students and are happy to support you in approaching design studios. Thanks to our links with professionals in the industry, we strive to provide you with the knowledge and networking opportunities to prepare you for employment with the likes of our Life After Lectures-a series of talks by designers, illustrators and creative directors about progressing from education to the workplace. Access to national competitions give you opportunities to get your work seen and promote your talent. Recent successes at the Starpack Awards saw students winning 3 gold awards and 1 silver alongside 2 students being highly commended and one winning a work placement.
