The Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication offers a practice-based approach to learning visual communication. Throughout the course, the creation of new design solutions is driven by rigorous and critical exploration of methods, materiality and technology, and understanding the influence of globalisation, digitisation, complexity and interactivity.
The combined degree provides additional practical skills, in particular skills that make students aware of the international contexts of design, by providing them with the opportunity to acquire knowledge of a language and culture other than English.
The course centres around design studios which integrate practice-orientated learning around specific projects, and parallel the process that professionals undertake in industry.
The course is structured to allow students to focus, particularly in its second half, on areas of specialisation. Throughout all stages, the course requires students to develop an understanding of their own individual design language and theoretical position in relationship to historic and contemporary contexts.
