The role of Graphic Designer has transformed enormously with the development of the digital world. 

 

Our?Graphic Communications?course is current, exciting and bold, exploring emerging communication practices and technologies. Developed in consultation with industry, the course offers specialist employable skills in design thinking, design research methodologies and 21st century design practice.  Through this course you will explore how Designers strategically utilise identity (branding); how information is used to encourage, persuade, and change mindsets (information graphics and data-led campaigns) and finally how we help the public navigate the world through signage and way finding (user experience, user interface and motion graphics).  

 

You’ll be encouraged to learn how to work with the public, clients, and others to understand the human-centered challenges they face and experiment with both new and traditional design practices and technologies to develop effective solutions to these problems.  

 

We believe that our course encourages our students to tackle design challenges that not only interest them, but ones that have real socio-economic impact, enabling them to solve problems that we value and care about.  

 

You will study and practice at USW’s creative campus in the centre of Cardiff. The city is rich in design agencies and opportunities to get involved in the emerging design scene.  

 

The course has a fantastic reputation and working relationship within the creative industries. Our students learn to gain confidence and work professionally through our professional practice modules and industry experience events and opportunities.  

 

Our graduates have been highly employable through portfolio, demonstrating creative thinking and digital skills focused on design challenges that matter.
