Graphic design

100% Student Satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2022.

Our Graphic Design and Graphic Illustration courses offer you something unique. Unlike other universities we teach both degrees together. So, rather than being tied to one study route, you can be flexible and transfer between courses as you progress.
For instance, if you develop a passion for illustration you can transfer to the Graphic Illustration route to study this pathway in much more depth.
This way, you get the most out of your time with us – tailoring your degree, exploring your career options and strengthening your personal approach to your creative process.
Employers of our recent graduates include Penguin Random House Publishing, the National Theatre, the British Museum and the Cartoon Network. While others develop careers in teaching or decide to study at Masters level. ​
