Course Description
Postgraduate Certificates and Diplomas have been specifically designed for students who already have a first degree and wish to progress to a postgraduate course but need a bridging programme to build confidence and skills. The course is equally suited to those wishing to pursue a more specialist or intensive skills course in an area related to their first degree. This course aims to prepare you for postgraduate research practice and study and/or career opportunities within the visual communication design industries. The elective programme encourages particular emphasis on your study. For example, Typo/Graphic Design focuses on word-based communication and its relationship to language. Image-based Design considers the importance of image in conveying messages; Information Design is concerned with the selection, organisation and presentation of information so that it is understandable to an intended public; Design for Advertising embraces environmental, political, social and cultural agendas; and investigates strategies designed to engage with a target audience.

Course Fees
