MA Visual Communication: Graphic Design is an intensive contemporary programme that combines creative and professional development, experience within a nurturing, experimental, interdisciplinary, studio-based environment. The course is focused on the development of imaginative and conceptually distinctive visual practices, in which qualities of invention and discovery are underpinned by rigorous specialist expertise, preparing students to achieve a broad range of creative ambitions.  

MA Graphic Design encourages designers to explore ways of developing understanding between co-communicators. This course approaches all forms of graphic design as triggers for thinking and feeling. By interrogating your practice at the cognitive level, you’ll explore how such things as a metaphor, and the framing and blending of ideas, drive communication. Through self-initiated research and experimentation, you’ll be encouraged to engage with the world, and find insights that generate understanding and guide positive action.

The School of Digital Arts (SODA) Masters in Games Art aims to extend your existing knowledge and skills by exploring game art in a range of academic contexts. The course synthesises industry-standard tools, techniques and processes with emerging technologies and disruptive research.

Creative technologies are transforming the way we engage with the world, and extended realities (XR) - such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) -are at the forefront of this change, increasingly shaping industries like arts, entertainment, gaming, architecture, and education.

At the heart of your experience with us in Visual Communication is the shared commitment to ‘conversational practice’. By this, we mean a practical and discursive approach to making. We see communication as essentially, a conversation to form bridges, connect people and exchange ideas.
