Summary
The MA Communication Design: Information Design Pathway combines the development of practical skills with the study of historical and theoretical issues, in a world-class research-intensive environment*.
MA Communication Design integrates shared elements of study and pathway-specific elements. This Information Design pathway allows for specialisation and a deeper engagement with communication design.
The Information Design pathway focuses on the relationship between the presentation of information and user experience across different everyday applications and contexts of use.
