Our approach to Graphic Communication Design spans an expanding assemblage of media and agendas. We encourage a wide range of practices and concerns, which are united by a shared appreciation for the ways that thinking and making advance one another.
Our programme facilitates a broad and dynamic community of students and staff to thrive through graphic and communication design in diverse and meaningful ways. Our goal as a programme is to ask and answer questions through and about graphic communication design.
