Programme
Graphic Designers must challenge the status quo, cross boundaries, think backwards from the future and develop powerful and novel solutions. They should observe and be culturally and historically aware and demonstrate understanding, openness and receptivity.
At Edinburgh College of Art we encourage bold, lateral thinking coupled with a clear understanding of process, technique and business. Our aim is to produce innovative, emotive, and enduring design from students who learn through intense sustained involvement with the design process.
The curriculum is student-led. With tutorial guidance, you will negotiate and develop a programme of study based on personal areas of practice and research.
Our printmaking facilities offer screenprint, relief print, etching, lithography, digital print and printmaking, monoprint and calligraphy.
The possibilities for employment range from corporate assignments within a design agency to independent freelance commissions, for both screen and print. Other destinations for Graphic Design graduates include the computer games industry and multimedia programming, film, television and the press, and education.
How you will be taught
For assessment, MA and MFA students produce a body of practical and written work on an agreed, self-initiated topic. This may include set projects within the programme curriculum. MFA students produce an additional extended body of work.
All programmes integrate practical studio work with theoretical and written studies, including professional practice elements to prepare you for employment in the industry, and a lecture/seminar series to examine the wider context of your studies.
The aim is to encourage and support postgraduate students who wish to explore graphic design as a means of expressing ideas and opinions.
