BA Visual Communication

Three-year course (180 credits)

There are many options open to students who complete the course in visual communication. The subject is undergoing radical development. In addition to illustration and graphic design, visual communication also includes subject areas such as profiling and trademark building, editorial design and multimedia/ interaction design. The bachelor’s programme offers the opportunity to specialise in one of these areas.

Visual communication is a creative process which entails both functionally aesthetic and communicative problem areas where conveying information and emotional impressions are important elements.

The visual communication programme is based on traditions in the visual arts combined with modern theories of design development. While it is important to nurture traditions, a strong network is being built up with leading research and specialist environments both worldwide and in Northern Europe. The course is investigative and experimental.
