Why choose this course?

The MA Graphic Design programme at Kingston School of Art takes a practice-based, research-orientated approach to anticipating the future potential and practice of graphic design. The course will explore and challenge assumptions about the designer, as a researcher, facilitator, producer, artist, storyteller, teacher, author, entrepreneur, provocateur, leader, and agent of change.

We are ambitious for our students and invested in pushing the boundaries of the discipline through socially and ecologically responsible thinking and making in a discursive studio-based community of practice. Risk, play, and experimentation are valued within, and alongside, a rigorous academic framework. We embrace process as a mode of meaning-making in a dynamic studio-based culture to generate new modalities of knowledge for local and global audiences. The diverse positions and experiences our students bring to the course are integral to our key aim of examining and challenging graphic design.
