Summary
MA Graphic Design is designed to progressively develop your expertise as a creative practitioner. The course will advance your knowledge, skills and specialism within the field of visual communication. The curriculum builds your knowledge and skills in a structured and cumulative way. Early modules lay the foundation with core design principles and essential research methods.
