Programme profile
This intensive programme in graphic arts and design encourages independent learning and problem solving. Students conduct in-depth research, while learning to generate creative and adventurous solutions. Upon completion of the programme, students leave with a sense of confidence in their ability to think critically, act creatively, and produce work to a professional level, allowing them access to the best design jobs on the market.
The programme comprises two qualifications: an HND Graphic Design at the end of the second year and a Graphic Design Bachelor’s degree, accredited by Teesside University, at the end of the third year.
Note: students with appropriate qualifications may be able to apply directly to Year 3 of the programme.
Programme content
In Year 1 you experience the fundamental principles of graphic design. You are introduced to essential graphic languages and processes including computer application skills, drawing, typography, advertising, ideas generation and web design.
During Year 2 you develop a portfolio of work as you build your knowledge, strengths, professional and management skills. Wider and more creative design solutions are actively encouraged. As you continue to build a distinctive body of work you participate in live projects, work more independently and design a final portfolio for presentation.
During Year 3, you discuss and agree topics of your choice for the final major project and dissertation, and you are given opportunities to work on live projects and competition briefs. The final year requires you to work independently in a studio environment, participate in seminars and workshops and develop a final portfolio for a public show.
