Overview
Master innovative ways of thinking and making in graphic design Gain the future skills to excel in competitive design fields and create meaningful work. Graphic design is framed as an expanded practice and subject of study, a launchpad to diverse careers and roles that combine creativity, social and ecological impact, and cutting-edge technology. Whilst studying a Graphic Design MA, you’ll explore and challenge assumptions about the designer as a researcher, facilitator, producer, artist and storyteller. You’ll embrace opportunities to see yourself as a teacher, author, entrepreneur, provocateur, leader and agent of change. We encourage students to explore new and unfamiliar processes and techniques. Through experimentation and innovation you’ll develop your own disciplines and individual creative practices. In the process of reconfiguring design’s roles and responsibilities, you will learn the Future Skills needed to thrive in an age of uncertainty. You will get to know some amazing and inspiring tutors who will always help you find the right questions to ask. Kjerstin Asak
