Program Overview

Study in a studio environment with professional-standard facilities and the focus on the real-world skills you need to succeed in your career

Why study graphic design?

  • Graphic design makes a powerful contribution to the cultural and economic life of contemporary society.
  • It exists in the public domain, acts as an indicator of current cultural thinking and is a catalyst for social, cultural and political change.
  • The role of the graphic designer in society and the professional world is multifaceted; designer as curator, author, craftsperson, editor, educator, collaborator and agitator.
  • Studying graphic design is excellent preparation for a creative career in the UK and abroad.

Why UWE Bristol?

  • BA(Hons) Graphic Design is based at the Arnolfini, at the heart of Bristol's creative and cultural community. You'll learn from practising graphic designers in a professional studio environment.
  • Past students have won awards in prestigious national competitions such as the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) Student Design Awards and the International Society of Typographic Designers (ISTD).
  • In recent years, graduates' work has been exhibited at D&AD New Blood, London, with several being identified as 'Ones to Watch' and commendations received for several collaborative projects.
  • Our students are also regularly shortlisted for the Best British Book Design and Production Awards.

  • Our strong industry links with the thriving city of Bristol ensure ongoing input from professional designers, with extra mentoring support also on offer through the West of England Design Forum.
  • You won't be working on hypothetical designs. Projects are socially and culturally relevant, whether undertaken inside or outside the university.
  • Go on work placements and internships, or volunteer, to gain valuable workplace experience.
  • Attend talks from studios like OK/RM, Pentagram, Moving Brands, Mother London, Muf, APFEL and Book Works.
  • Showcase your work to talent scouts and potential employers at the final year CreativeIndustries Degree Show.
  • Focus on the avenues that most interest you, and graduate with an impressive portfolio of work, ready to make your mark in the industry.

Where can it take me?
