BA Graphic & Media Design, Year One
BA Graphic & Media Design, Year Two
BA Graphic & Media Design, Year Three
FdA Design for Graphic Communication
We have established a PPD Baseroom. This is near the entrance to the school (next to the BA Information Design studio). We encourage you to book one-to-one tutorials with us at any time of the year on Fridays to discuss work placements, volunteer work, post-graduate study, presentation and portfolio advice - or if you just fancy a bit of a chat with Catherine, Sarah or Anna. Email us to set up a tutorial.
BA Graphic & Media Design, Year One The GMD Year One programme is made up of a lecture programme and a series of seminar sessions. The lecture programme is multi-discplinary. We have invited people from a range of different areas and specialisms: from a goldsmith to a cultural anthropologist to come in and talk to you. The aim of the programme is for you to start to see connections between your own emerging practice and other practitioners' methodologies and processes.
The Year One lecture programme runs on alternate Fridays in the Autumn and Spring terms, but you are more than welcome to also attend the Year Two lecture programme.
