Graphic Design

Understand the course

Graphic design uses visual communication to make information clear and recognisable. Learning should cover design principles as well as software, so that students can explain why a layout or image works.

Duration and entry requirements

Duration: Depends on the award, software coverage and portfolio requirements.

Starting qualification: Provider-specific; interest in visual communication is useful.

The subject list below is an overview for comparing programmes. The final syllabus, subject combinations and assessment scheme belong to the selected institution.

What practical learning should include

Create a small portfolio and revise each design after feedback about readability and purpose.

Plan your application

• Confirm the exact award, campus and learning mode.
• Match your qualification and subjects to the current admission notice.
• Check whether an entrance test, interview, audition or counselling round applies.
• Prepare the documents requested by the institution and keep application receipts.

Understand the total cost

Ask for the current written fee schedule for your exact programme and session. Compare tuition, examination charges, practical or internship costs and, if needed, accommodation and travel. Scholarships should be checked against their eligibility and renewal conditions.

A useful question before you decide

Will you build a portfolio and learn design principles alongside software?
