Course General Description

This award-winning programme offers you the opportunity to study graphic design and all its related disciplines. We offer a high level of experiential learning through studio projects, talks, workshops and online activities, where you explore the many and varied practices within graphic design communication. You are encouraged to be open to new ideas and engage with the range of skills on offer. The programme has strong links with industry through our Professional Practice module and the work placement initiative in Year Three. From it, students have been successfully placed in Ireland, London and further afield in Europe, Asia and South America. On completion, the programme prepares students for careers as professional graphic designers and other areas of employment, such as advertising, packaging, typography, illustration, UX design, film/TV production, exhibition and web design. The programme actively encourages a broadening of skills on intellectual, creative and practical levels in order to become a designer of the future.
