Design is the (not-so) secret weapon behind every innovative brand, beautiful magazine, eye-popping piece of print and jaw-dropping digital interface. Learn its secrets and carve out an influential career working with the biggest firms or apply your talents to make a positive impact on the world around you. This pathway lets you focus on the specialist skills you’ll need to work in the industry, learn the latest software and make lifelong friendships with like-minded creatives.
The teaching team have worked at the top end of the design, advertising and branding industry and now want to pass on their knowledge, expertise and connections to the next generation of creatives. In recent years, our students have worked on live briefs with the likes of Lacoste, Sky, Mini and collaborated with students from Yale University is the US on a brief set by Prada. We’ve also partnered with some of the world’s leading creative agencies including Droga5 and DesignStudio (the designers of the Premier League, Airbnb and Deliveroo branding). It’s a powerful mix of freedom, inspiration and support that prepares you for an incredible career. In fact, it’s earned our students over 100 major awards in recent years, including at least one D&AD pencil every year since 2011.

| Additional Admission Requirements: | Apply through UCAS and if you’ve got the grades and you’re a good fit, we’ll invite you along to a face-to-face interview. Leave your suit at home and come for an informal chat about why you’d love to take the course. We want to hear what kind of design really interests you and what you know about the industry. You’ll also need to bring your portfolio – approximately six to ten pieces of work that show off your potential and represent the kind of design you love. Present them well and explain your design process and ideas. It really doesn’t matter if you’ve never studied graphic design before, as long as you can think of original and clever concepts. |
