Honours Degree
This course is all about ideas, skills and strong industry links.
Designers produce ideas in order to communicate and the success of any project depends on the strength of the idea and the skill with which it’s executed.
Working in our spacious studios you’ll have access to computers, printers and the internet in a professional studio environment. You will create ideas for branding, packaging and advertising, along with magazines, books and information design. You’ll also explore digital and moving image and areas of more personal expression and self-authorship.
Through workshops, you will learn new skills, explore all areas of the subject and develop your own personality and individuality as a designer. We will expect you to be hardworking, ambitious, committed, passionate, curious and enthusiastic to take risks and to acquire knowledge. You will learn to express yourself in distinctive and imaginative ways and demonstrate your curiosity, ambition and attitude through your work.
