Studying this course allows you to: * Be part of a unique studio culture that encourages you to collaborate with students from other disciplines. Whilst specialising in graphic design, you can also work with artists, photographers and designers across the school; we call this transdisciplinary teaching. * Experiment to understand what’s possible, so we’ll encourage you to try new things and take risks. * Closely align with the most creative industry practices, as well as innovating through collaboration, which will enhance your prospects when applying for an optional industry placement. It’s vital that you understand how graphic design works in the wider world, so we work with a range of communication theories and diverse guest speakers, giving you the chance to understand the factors shaping the future of Graphic Design. Being a student at Huddersfield has helped open doors to exciting new career paths while providing a unique and dynamic learning environment. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Huddersfield and would encourage anyone considering a career in design to look no further. Great facilities, quality tutors and fantastic industry connections. ~ Alex Nicholson, Graphic Design BA(Hons) 2018 graduate.
