Course Overview

Graphic Design at Whitecliffe prepares students for a career in visual communication, with a broad range of creative and commercial possibilities. Creative projects challenge and develop the student's conceptual ability, theoretical knowledge, and technical skills. Students are encouraged to present and contextualise their work within the historical development of design and contemporary practice.

At Whitecliffe, we support student's personal progression by allowing for regular group critiques and one-on-one discussions with lecturers.

Students develop industry contacts and professional skills through close interaction with visiting practitioners, studio visits, organising exhibitions, and entering industry competitions.

Whitecliffe Graphic Design graduates are employed as designers by both national and international agencies, with some progressing to establish their own design businesses. Graduates are also engaged in postgraduate research within the design field. The Whitecliffe BFA Honours year offers graduates the opportunity to further explore design research and prepares students for Master's level study and/or creative professional practice.
