Studies in Graphic Design

Graphic Design is about visual communication that draws its inspiration from art and aesthetics. We offer competitive academic teaching in visual communications design. In addition to undertaking hands-on projects, you will seek to understand the wider social meaning of design that contributes to the production of visual culture at different social sectors.
