Students develop specialist skills in typography, colour, layout, publishing and advertising, using research, problem solving and teamwork. Dedicated graphic design studios and Mac labs support the work. Employer engagement and industry collaboration form part of the curriculum. Students are assessed through portfolio submissions, and those who achieve a minimum B grade can progress to a one-year honours top-up degree at the college, or to second-year entry at other institutions. Students produce portfolio work that demonstrates their applied graphic design skills. The course suits those who want to develop a career as an industry-ready graphic designer.
