BA Graphic Design Canterbury Christ Church University

Program Description

Graphic Design involves developing your individual skills as a professional designer from the moment you arrive at our purpose-built studios. You’ll leave with a professional portfolio based on your own interests, an in-depth knowledge of graphic design software (Adobe Creative Cloud), tools (risograph printing, laser cutting and etching, screen printing) and interpersonal skills equipping you to succeed in a competitive industry. Throughout the course, you’ll put your skills to use by working with practising designers completing live briefs and entering national competitions. To capitalise on your design work, you’ll learn the business and entrepreneurial aspects of the industry through working with a professional design agency. The course is taught in specialist graphic design studio spaces in the new Daphne Oram building where you will have access to industry-standard software and a range of art and design technologies. We encourage, and support you, to take on freelance commissions throughout the course. Your sessions will be led by a team of graphic design industry specialists who care about your passions, your interests and your work. This is reflected in the latest National Student Survey (2022) in which 100% of our Graphic Design students were satisfied overall with their course, and agreed staff made the subject interesting.
