Graphic Design

Design can shape the way we understand the world - from branding that builds identities to campaigns that drive social change.

At Kent, you’ll explore how visual communication can inform, inspire, and provoke, developing your personal voice and identity along the way.

Not only will you develop core graphic design skills such as typography, image-making, editorial design, UX/UI, and motion. But you’ll also have the freedom to explore emerging trends and techniques.

You will consider graphic design in the context of major contemporary issues such as the climate crisis, digital misinformation, inclusive design, mental health awareness, ethical branding, and more.

Live projects, industry partnerships, and mentoring give you hands-on opportunities to refine your skills and build a portfolio that represents your personal style and innovative thinking while being informed by industry.

You'll use our range of specialist facilities to create your own work, respond to live briefs and industry-set challenges, deliver client pitches, and receive professional mentoring giving you the skills, experience and confidence for a career in design.
