Our Graphic Illustration and Graphic Design 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 Graphic Design you can transfer to the graphics pathway to study that area in much more depth.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.
