You'll examine how graphic design serves as a critical instrument to analyze modern challenges, visual culture, social dynamics, political contexts, personal identity, information systems, educational approaches, and technological advancements. Your role as a designer will be investigated through both practical application and theoretical study.

You'll refine your skills with expert guidance within specialized Platform groups like Socially-Engaged Design, Visual Identity and Branding, Language and Publishing, and Interactive Design. These groups offer focused frameworks for addressing project requirements in each module, while helping you cultivate unique research methodologies and professional practice through an Extended Research Project.
