A Postgraduate Certificate in Graphic Design provides students with the fundamentals of graphic communication and its context within the communication design field. The selected studio-based offerings allow students to build some depth in design process, typography and creative problem solving while augmenting that knowledge with both a historic and cultural context through the liberal studies offerings. In addition, students are given the opportunity to broaden this knowledge through related expansion studios or advanced studies in Typography.
