Course Overview

This MA in Communication Design is a timely response to the changing role and increasing the worth of communication design. As we move further into a world of positions and services rather than slogans and artifacts, this master's will prepare you for an innovative and exciting career. Our distinctive repertoire of research themes and live collaborative briefs will provide you with the opportunity to challenge, change and make a positive impact on social, environmental, and economic issues. The programs focus on issue-based design research and cutting-edge practice acknowledges the increasing complexity and convergent nature of contemporary design practice. You will explore and address complex challenges by drawing on skills and expertise honed by increasing awareness and knowledge of approaches and methods used in a range of related disciplines. We will cover ground such as graphic design, interaction design, branding, information design, typography, image-making, user experience design (UX), and human-computer interface (HCI). You will learn through studio-based projects, working collaboratively with your fellow students, with our research-active staff, and with a diverse range of external partners. For your final project, you can choose a theme and a collaborator that inspires you, giving you a unique opportunity to make a positive impact on a social or environmental area that you are truly passionate about. You will graduate with a firm grounding in the advanced theory, practice, and professionalism that underpin modern-day communication design. In the process, you will develop a critical awareness of how communication design shapes and is shaped by the forces of social, technological, and economical change.
