On the BA (Hons) Visual Communication degree programme our specialism is communication. Our aim is to educate the professional visual communicators of the future, those who have something to say, and those who aim to help others express their ideas effectively. The tools you will explore are broad: photography, video, illustration, typography, animation, graphic design, 3D design, social media, events management. The core skills you learn will be universal: research; collaboration; project management; problem solving, critical thinking. We take a highly student-centred approach, allowing students to negotiate their own route through the course. The first few months will introduce you to a wide range of technical skills and theoretical ideas, and from then on all your briefs will be live. There will always be a real audience for your work. We ask you to use your creativity to communicate to that audience and then to use your critical faculties to assess how well you have achieved your aims. External engagement through industry placements and work-related learning is central to our approach, with all students working on live projects within the second year and many working regularly with businesses and external partners. Every year the majority of our graduates have already secured employment, work experience or freelance work in their chosen field as a direct result of connections established during the course. The BA (Hons) Visual Communication degree has delivered a highly successful diagnostic visual design programme for the past 15 years. Our alumni work in a huge variety of fields including graphic design, film and computer games design. Alongside all of this our Context of Practice module, running through all three years, allows you to research many of the pressing concerns relating to contemporary communication design, including issues such as sustainability, globalisation, identity theory, and the social media explosion.
