The Graphic Design MA (Online) course at London College of Communication supports students in developing design practices that tackle modern challenges.
As the world adapts and develops, so do the demands for graphic design, bringing new trends, challenges and skills to explore within the exciting landscape of visual storytelling.
Drawing on London College of Communication’s rich expertise in design, students will be supported by academics who are actively working in the industry and bring experience from their own cutting-edge practices.
Through a series of industry-facing project briefs, students will develop a portfolio of work, take on new design challenges and experiment with their existing styles to deliver powerful messaging.
A choice of elective units and awards (MA, PgDip and PgCert) allows students to strengthen creative practices in ways that matter to them as individuals.
Through a combination of theory and creative projects, students will analyse graphic design on a global scale through critical, cultural, historical and industry contexts. Explore how design can bridge gaps, build identities and share awareness of the social challenges of our time.
