  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc/PGDip/PGCert One year full-time or two years part-time.

Course Description

The MA Visual Communication Design course at Cardiff Met responds to the increasing urgency to overhaul social structures and systems to address the complex issues of our time.

This Masters degree in Visual Communication Design encourages you to critically position yourself in relation to human-centred and post-human-centred approaches to design research and practice. You will explore both speculative and solutionist approaches to design, working collaboratively and in an interdisciplinary context.

Alongside your own research projects, you will have opportunities to take part in shorter design challenges that approach ways to shape sustainable and collective futures.

Our Visual Communication Design Master’s Degree promotes material-oriented approaches to design. You will develop tools, methods and processes that enable new ways of envisioning, inhabiting, communicating, and disrupting complex issues, places, and futures.

Entry Requirements

You will normally have achieved a first class or second class upper division first degree (1st or 2.1 degree classification) in an appropriate subject, and/or equivalent professional standing or experience in a design, design crafts, or creative industries discipline, based upon assessed Accredited Prior Learning (RPL) or assessed Accredited Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL), or a discipline associated with their programme of study.
