BA (Hons) Graphic Communication

Your passion for exploring visual ideas and brand communication across all platforms will be at the heart of your time at NUA studying our award-winning Graphic Communication course.

Our BA (Hons) Graphic Communication degree is closely aligned with the industry and you will work on a wide variety of briefs set by staff, professional design agencies and external competitions.

You will engage in work that explores traditional formats as well as emerging digital technologies such as augmented and virtual reality. Your knowledge and skills will grow in branding, identity, advertising, motion graphics, and interaction/UX design, whilst developing strong skills in creative thinking and ideas-led communication solutions.

Design solutions to real-world problems

You’ll be challenged to engage with real-world problems, controversies and commercial briefs through research, design and technology.

Your original ideas are as likely to play out through an app, website or augmented reality experience as a printed poster, pamphlet or journal.
