MA Design encourages a healthy interplay of approaches and ideas across the visual design and the applied arts. You may want to explore a particular design interest on the programme, or select a pathway in Visual Communication, Graphics, Textiles or Illustration. This is a practical design course, grounded in developing skills in all areas of professional, critical and research process. We encourage you to work both independently and collaboratively, alongside students specialising in range of areas including fine art photography, painting, media and ceramics. Over the course of the programme, you'll build a build a strong professional approach to your practice, and you’ll demonstrate this in a public show of your final MA project at the end of the programme. On successful completion of the course, your new abilities will be clearly evident in the portfolios you’ve developed, and your increased confidence will help you to prepare your move into industry or to continued studies.
