The BA in Graphic Design (Part time) is a comprehensive and career-focused qualification that prepares you for work in the rewarding world of design in advertising, multi-media, design. 
 
Graphic designers are visual communicators, who develop creative concepts and designs to promote or enhance products, services and organisations.

You will develop a broad theoretical foundation and practical experience in various core areas of graphic design such as Communication Design, Digital Design, Drawing, Web Design, Typography, and Motion Graphics.

The emphasis throughout is on intensive studio-based design training where you will practice and experiment with a range of mediums from drawing to photography, to digital design. In addition, you will acquire broader skills and knowledge in Business English, Communication Science, and Research Methodology, which will assist you in your world of work.

We attribute the success of this degree to our dedicated and industry-experienced teaching staff and a curriculum that is relevant and ahead of trends.
 
Most importantly, our focus is on real-world application, completing projects, attending workshops, and practising essential design skills.
 
This blended approach ensures that you graduate as well-rounded, highly skilled, and self-reflective designers with additional skills for the workplace, such as working independently, meeting deadlines, and communicating effectively.
