Program Overview
Our BA (Hons) Communication Design will provide you with expertise in three key areas of design; conceptual, applied, and entrepreneurial practices to communicate information through a variety of media. The programme will encourage you to use design thinking to transform and interpret data, develop knowledge, and transform information into ethical, meaningful, and inclusive communication design experiences.
You’ll approach communication design by analysing collaborative experiences, socially dynamic and inclusive agendas, and key forms of critical design research. You’ll gain experience in moving image and animation, photography, graphic design (including illustration), and interaction design (UX/UI/Experiential). This will establish your communication design skills across various creative approaches, making you highly employable and sought-after upon graduation.
The programme offers specialised modules in communication design and various related topics. You’ll develop and apply your learned skills, techniques, and knowledge to undertake your final year project and establish your interests within the industry. There may be an opportunity for you to gain a global perspective of communication design, by studying abroad at our international exchange partners in Europe, India, and the USA.
Upon completion of the programme you’ll be able to maintain a sustainable practice in the management of design and design research projects and communicate critically and effectively to individuals and organisations, through professional visual, written, and verbal presentations. You’ll develop the necessary skills and knowledge to develop critical communication design practices within a variety of industry, commercial, and non-commercial contexts.
