Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Graphic & UX Design

Our BA Graphic & UX Design has evolved to reflect the role of contemporary graphic and user experience (UX) design. Using the design thinking process, our graduates learn to craft inventive and creative solutions that communicate, educate, entertain and persuade. These solutions often involve multiple skills including: visual identity, image making (illustration, photography), motion graphics

The programme is very practice-based with a focus on real-world problems, live project briefs — working directly with Industry, participation in international competitions, along with an opportunity to gain 12 weeks full-time industry work placement or study aboard in year 3. Our graduates enter industry as highly employable, creative and entrepreneurial designers and find employment as; UX/UI/Digital Product Designers in the booming tech sector, as graphic designers within advertising, marketing or design agencies, as in-house graphic designers in a wide range of industries, as self-employed designers and many more.

The world is complex. Technology is transforming how we communicate, learn, buy, play and live. In this world of constant change, government and business now recognise the need for creative thinkers who are able to identify and solve real problems. This course answers that need, providing our graduates with the processes and skills to launch them in to an exciting career in design.
