Visual Communication (Level 6) BA (Hons)

You’ll become a multi-skilled designer and exhibit work in London and complete a work placement at a prestigious agency.

You’ll build on your existing knowledge, skills and qualifications to develop vocationally-oriented creative portfolios to gain a full BA honours degree qualification. As a home or international student, you’ll have completed a Level 5 or equivalent qualification, higher education diploma or foundation degree, and will progress to study on this course alongside students specialising in a range of design subjects.

You’ll be able to pick modules in advertising, graphic design and illustration to suit your background and ambitions. Graduate with a broad range of specialist skills from branding to publication layout to storyboarding and pitching. You’ll make essential contacts and gain valuable experience even before you graduate.

Study style

You’ll be actively engaged with design projects and real-world assignments, addressing a wide variety of creative challenges. Depending on your chosen pathway, you may have the chance to exhibit through our links with the D&AD’s New Blood Exhibition in London and enter the Yellow Pencil award, which previous Visual Communication students have won.

You’ll have practical, real-world design and advertising assignments, develop your creative portfolios, undertake individual research and presentations, write essays and proposals, plus write an 8,000-word dissertation.
