The Digital Communication Design course explores and critically investigates the creative potential of current and emerging technologies in the context of communication design practice. It seeks to place graduates with a specialised skill set where developments in technology are exploited in interesting and exciting new ways in the service of communication and media design.
One of the defining features of the course is its relationship with technology. The course is particularly designed to explore the consequences and opportunities offered to both media and design discourse and practice, by technological developments. This requires both a critical approach to emergent technologies as well as an understanding of their cultural and social implications.
Our graduates produce socially active work that responds to a dynamic and networked world that is alive to evolution through user engagement and social media. We believe that as society embraces design and media processes in increasing amounts, design practitioners have a duty to understand their influence in shaping the cultural landscape and norms of practice.
We encourage experimentation and believe that experimentation facilitates innovation. This belief in making talks to our heritage as an art school and we draw on a rich tradition of studio- based making. Making is thinking and to this end we provide a curriculum rich in opportunities to experiment with complex media processes. Through expert led workshops and seminars, students can become expert in niche and experimental areas.
The course is dedicated to fostering the independent, creative and inquiring mind, providing opportunities to develop critical and analytical skills while gaining the theoretical and practical skills necessary to work within this intense yet challenging design arena. The course ensures that graduates join a community of practice and are equipped with the skills to continue learning and developing in both life and work.
