Visual Communication MA

This course equips you to become an innovative problem solver and diverse practitioner in the creative industries.

Picture yourself as a graphic designer, visual designer, user experience (UX) designer, or user interface (UI) designer, or an interaction / experience designer or motion graphics designer. How about a content creator, social media designer or web designer? Consider being a creative or art director, or an exhibition designer or design consultant or freelancer or entrepreneur, or corporate communications specialist.

Successful graduates will have the opportunity to go on to a range of design-related employment, develop new enterprise propositions or receive project funding to take ideas to market. Further study at doctoral level is also an option.
