Course General Description

Visual Communication offers three pathways of study: Experimental Communication, Graphic Design and Illustration. Taking an innovative approach to pedagogy and creative practice, the pathways are structured to facilitate risk-taking and experimentation, anchored by deep subject knowledge.
