Graphic Design (with Professional Practice Year) - BA (Hons)

Ink on your hands. Pixels at your fingertips. Make the kind of work machines can’t. BA (Hons) Graphic Design with Professional Practice Year is a four-year degree programme, in year three you undertake a placement within the creative industries to further develop your skills and CV. Take control of your craft in studios that run just like the real thing: busy, honest, hands-on. Work with everything – letterpress, silkscreen, riso, digital, 3D printing, motion, sound – building a toolkit and portfolio that will make you impossible to ignore in the job market. From day one, you'll tackle real briefs for industry and competitions, present your work to industry professionals, and develop the creative confidence to hold your own in any studio. Past partners include Ogilvy, Kickers, Surrey County Council, and the NHS. Your career starts right here at UCA, not when you graduate. By the time you leave, you won't just be a graphic designer. You'll be an ideas-led, adaptable creative who can turn their hand to brand strategy, typography, editorial, motion or UXUI design, campaigns, content creation, and beyond – with a distinctive creative approach and the professional skills to back it up.
