Program details

Overview

The Typography Foundations Micro-credential provides students with an understanding of contemporary typography and the skills required to create graphic designs for print and online production. Students learn how to effectively combine type and image to convey complex ideas, construct meanings, implied narratives, and emotions. Topics include the anatomy of the letterform, distinctions between typefaces, shaping the page with type, and accessible content. Students will be introduced to contemporary graphic designers and their impact on visual communication and the written language.

Application Details

Application Deadline: UNBC's general-entry Bachelor's programs (BA, BComm, BPl, BSc) accept domestic (Canadian/PR) applications continuously with no fixed closing date for either the September or January semester. International applicants face undated, recurring cutoffs that UNBC prints without a specific year: 11 July for September-semester entry and 8 November for January-semester entry; applying later risks missing the documentation needed to study in Canada before the semester begins. Competitive-entry programs (Engineering, Nursing, Health Sciences, Education, Social Work) and individual graduate programs set their own dates each cycle -- see the programme-specific entries below for this institution's graduate programs. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
