Our MA Visual Communication – Contemporary Dialogues at Swansea College of Art is designed for students who want to develop both creative thinking and analytical thinking within the field of design. It’s an ideal choice if you are aiming to improve your skills in Visual Communication practice and enhance your professional standing in the creative industries. Throughout the course, you will explore the theories and methods that support effective design research. You will be encouraged to engage in reflective practice, taking time to review and assess your work as you respond to complex and often unpredictable professional environments. This approach will help you build essential qualities such as personal responsibility, initiative, and creative enterprise. The course is structured to equip you with the tools you need to confidently tackle real-world challenges. The programme also offers opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, allowing you to work with peers from other fields to broaden your understanding and skills. This collaborative work will help you gain a more comprehensive view of design, enabling you to engage with a wide range of ideas and practices. You’ll also improve your use of visual language, learning how to communicate complex ideas effectively in a variety of formats.
Students will have had experience in the performing arts and/or participatory arts practice with an undergraduate degree in a relevant subject at 2:2 or above or will have extensive professional experience in a relevant field. In addition, all applicants are invited for an informal interview and/or workshop where they are expected to demonstrate appropriate engagement in a practical workshop. They need 2:2 honours degree or UWTSD recognised equivalent.
