Design, Communication and Experiences MA is suitable for those with interests in graphic communication, visual communication, spatial design, fine arts, advertising, UX/UI, XR transformation and more.
This studio-based MA encourages the free exchange and sharing of ideas, experimentation, peer group research, analysis, and critical evaluation within a positive and supportive environment. It seeks to develop graduates with strong self-belief and the ‘soft skills’ to confidently present their work and opinions.
Specifically, the MA Design, Communication and Experiences programme allows a space to think broadly around emerging societal and commercial visual communication needs and offers students from industrial or academic backgrounds opportunities to experiment with ideas and concepts to create a portfolio of conceptual and speculative work.
