Creative Design and Graphic Communication - Top-Up

Students learn the invisible language of form, composition, balance, structure, rhythm and hierarchy coupled with the very visible language of communication. The one year Top-up course is designed to refine skills already developed either through the two year Foundation Degree, through experience studying at another institution or prior industry knowledge. Modules are developed with an emphasis on theory and practice, alongside employability skills. Students who study this programme graduate with the following skills: A working knowledge of industry-standard equipment and software. A professional understanding of the strength and usage of visual communication. An understanding of how to evaluate a client's needs and to respond successfully to them. Experience of working as part of a professional team, gained through group projects and work placements, and through entering national and international design competitions. Develop one's own visual signature, enabling one to generate and express one's own personal ideas and beliefs. In addition to our End of the Year Degree Show, students fundraise to showcase their work to industry at events such as D&AD.
