UWE Bristol’s MA Graphic Design course builds on our celebrated reputation for postgraduate study in design communication. Ideal for ambitious designers looking for an inclusive, creative community committed to pushing the graphic arts industry in new and dynamic directions.
Why study Design Communication: Graphic Design?
In our increasingly visual society, we're discovering innovative and radical ways to engage with both established and emerging audiences. In this context, graphic design is being redefined and reimagined.
On MA Design Communication: Graphic Design, you'll experiment with both new and traditional practices, strengthening your design vocabulary and command of communication.
Developed over decades, from our beginnings as Graphic Arts, our interdisciplinary approach has built a global profile for pushing the discipline. With a curriculum that encourages both conventional and unconventional means of creative inquiry, collaboration, and critical reflection, you'll establish your place in this exciting interdisciplinary and contemporary field.
Why UWE Bristol?
Based on Bristol's historic waterfront at the Arnolfini, you'll hone your practice at this internationally renowned centre for contemporary arts. You'll be at the heart of Bristol's creative and cultural hub, with access to UWE Bristol's City Campus.
As an MA Design Communication: Graphic Design student, you'll be perfectly placed studying in this socially and politically progressive city. Bristol is widely recognised as one of the most creatively influential settings in the UK. Our strong partnerships with local organisations mean you'll benefit from their input, along with valuable networking opportunities in this thriving creative environment.
Where can it take me?
Whether you're a recent graduate or mid-career designer, you'll benefit from the University's strong connections with the creative and design industries.
You'll gain real-world knowledge, experience and exposure through guest speakers, live projects and opportunities to enter awards and competitions.
You'll graduate with a globally recognised qualification and have a broad range of career options.
We're seeking highly motivated students from any background, committed to creative growth in our supportive School of Arts community. Most applicants would have an honours degree in the arts, but those with qualifications in other disciplines or prior professional experience are also encouraged to apply. While some students enter the course after years of independent work, we also welcome entries from ambitious applicants directly from undergraduate courses.
