Study Interactive & Visual Design

Interaction and visual design play a pivotal role in the rapidly expanding fields of contemporary communication, marketing and new technology. Careers in this area provide opportunities to design for print and electronic media, Web and mobile media, computer games and interactive exhibitions.

This interactive and visual design course will provide you with the conceptual understanding, practical skills and working methods you will need to become a creative innovative designer. As well as developing core understanding in visual and interactive design, you will choose study pathways to develop a specialist focus in graphic design, animation, 3D computer graphics and/or interaction design for tangible media.

You will build a portfolio of individual design work, as well as experience industry-based, interdisciplinary team projects, which you can consolidate through research opportunities and industry placements.
