Why study this course?
In our increasingly visual society we're discovering innovative, radical ways to engage with both established and emerging audiences. In this context, graphic design is being redefined, reimagined, and reshaped.
On our MA Design Communication: Graphic Design, you'll experiment with new, analogue, digital and traditional practices, strengthening your design vocabulary and communication with dynamic expertise.
Developed over decades, our interdisciplinary approach to the graphic arts has built a global profile for pushing the discipline. Through a curriculum that encourages both conventional and unconventional means of creative inquiry, collaboration, and critical reflection, you'll establish your own place in this exciting interdisciplinary field.
For aspiring graphic designers, this culture of collective ambition, extensive technical resources and industry links is your launchpad into the profession.
Why UWE Bristol?
Based on Bristol's historic waterfront at the Arnolfini, you'll hone your craft at this internationally renowned centre for contemporary art. You'll be at the heart of Bristol's creative and cultural hub, with access to UWE Bristol's City Campus and all it has to offer.
As a creative student, you'll be perfectly placed studying in Bristol. As a socially and politically progressive city, it's widely recognised as one of the most creatively influential settings in the UK. Our strong partnerships with local organisations mean you'll benefit from their input, along with many valuable networking opportunities in this thriving creative context.
Where can it take me?
Whether you're a recent graduate or mid-career designer, you'll benefit from the University's strong connections with the creative and media industries. You'll gain invaluable real-world knowledge, experience and exposure through regular guest speakers, live brief projects and opportunities to enter local and national awards and competitions.
You'll graduate with a globally recognised qualification and have a broad range of career options available to you regionally, nationally and internationally.
Hear from Graphic Arts graduate, Woon Bing, about exhibiting their work at the end of year degree show.

Read lessAdmission Requirements
We're seeking highly motivated students from any background, committed to creative growth in our supportive School of Arts community. Most applicants would have an honours degree in the arts, but those with qualifications in other disciplines or prior professional experience are also encouraged to apply.
Selection process
Applicants will be asked to provide a portfolio of practical or project-based work and a personal statement for review.
In your portfolio you may want to include your most recent or ambitious works alongside developmental or process-based details. The work you include can be in media from outside or beyond your chosen discipline, and may include personal or professional outcomes. We are looking for applicants with the potential to connect creatively with contemporary practice; the motivation to excel; and the capacity to contribute to our dynamic campus.
Your personal statement should communicate confidently and coherently your rationale for application: what you hope Master's study will help you achieve in your future. You may want to include detail of the influences that have led you to application, and the attributes you think will be important for success as a postgraduate. We would like to know more about you, and your understanding of what we do.
Most personal statements we receive are around 500 words in length.
Applicants may be invited for an online interview, if we have any further questions about your portfolio.
