GRAPHIC DESIGN

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.

Note: All courses tagged with “*” are included in the laptop program and are subject to additional fees.
