Visual Communication (with Professional Practice Year) - BA (Hons)

University for the Creative Arts

Our BA (Hons) Visual Communication degree, taught at UCA Canterbury, combines the best of graphic design, illustration, animation, photography, and moving image to help you develop a broad range of vital skills for the career of your choice within communication media. This course is all about helping you to think about the bigger picture when communicating any message – you may wish to illustrate a book, for example, but you will also need to consider the accompanying website, social media account, and advertising campaign. Developing a deep understanding of all forms of visual communication will enable you to appreciate the various roles each discipline can take within any given project. During your studies, you’ll be able to specialise in various areas of visual communication - the first of which you’ll choose in your second term - with tutorial guidance and advice.
