Graphic Communication Design

The programme provides a broad understanding of visual communication within analogue and digital media. It does this by preparing you to take a leading role in addressing and affecting changes in contemporary society by identifying, exploring and solving complex issues through applying design. The learning is primarily centered around complex design projects. This encompass knowledge about research, practice and artistic development. During your studies, you will engage with a number of disciplines such as visualization, form giving, co-design, experimentation and reflections on various design practices. You will learn to adopt a critical approach, questioning existing standards and work with new forms of contexts, formats and collaborations.Students will attend wide themes within society through open research agendas and iterative experimental processes involving the people and environments that the design addresses. These projects open up opportunities for you to work individually or collectively with external partners in a critical exploration of design outcomes.By combining elements of the applied arts tradition within graphic design with a critical and experimental approach, you will have the opportunity to deepen and expand your competency in areas within visual communication design like graphic design, visual identity, type design, information design, image production and new areas such as strategic design, service design, and co-design.
