Program Overview
MA Communication Design is the study of information and interface design. This course is research driven and combines creativity, critical analysis of contemporary media, with knowledge of the latest methodologies and tools.
A focus on digital media practice and theory sets this course apart from traditional communication design courses, preparing you for an exciting career in a range of design roles. We’ll encourage you to explore systems for the making and communication of text and image while you redefine your own practice through various media formats of experimental publishing and interaction design.
This course is for recent graduates or those with professional experience who wish to extend their creative skills and design knowledge into hybrid publishing, user experience design, and design research.
The core curriculum is practice based, supported by workshops, lectures and both individual and group tutorials. In our modern, well-equipped studios you’ll learn how to develop effective concepts and prototypes for current and emergent platforms, informed by graphic design and user experience design principles.
Throughout this master’s you’ll have opportunities to:
- Build your own tools through creative coding and modular design experimentation
- Take field trips to London and across Europe
- Use excellent facilities like the Interaction and Prototyping Laboratory, 3D printing and laser cutting as well as traditional design and print equipment
- Learn from academics with industry experience in graphic design, interaction design and design for experimental media
- Create a portfolio of high-quality design work
Towards the end of the course you'll carry out a practice-led research project, which is an exciting opportunity for you to engage with key debates shaping the communication design field.

Scholarships
Exetended Scholarship For Sep 2026 Intake
Undergraduate Global Excellence Scholarship is £ 3,000
Weve extended the deadline for our £4,000 Excellence Scholarship until 31st July, giving you more time to take advantage of this opportunity.
In addition, we’ve launched a new £2,000 Vice-Chancellor’s Global Achievers Award, as we welcome Professor Phillip Wright as Acting Vice-Chancellor.
This means you now have the opportunity to secure up to £6,000 in guaranteed scholarships.”
Eligibility & Conditions (Clear + Positive Framing)
- To be eligible for the £2,000 Vice-Chancellor’s Global Achievers Award, you’ll need to pay your £2,000 tuition fee deposit by 30th June. If you’re eligible for another Southampton-funded scholarship, you could even receive additional funding:
For example, Business School students may qualify for:
- £9,000 Dean’s Scholarship → plus £2,000 (50% Excellence) + £2,000 VC Award = £13,000 total
- £5,000 Merit Scholarship → plus £2,000 (50% Excellence) + £2,000 VC Award = £9,000 total
The good news is that this deposit is not an extra cost—it’s fully deducted from your tuition fees, along with your scholarship.”
If you need more time to pay the deposit, we may be able, in exceptional circumstances, agree to a late extension, but to guarantee at least £6000, we advise you to make the deposit as soon as possible and by the 30th of June.
