Graphic Design BA (Hons)
Overview and Rankings
A Deep Dive Into Graphic Design
Combining academic knowledge with practical experience to prepare graduates for a wide range of graphic design careers.
The BA (Hons) Graphic Design is built around producing designers who are curious, empathetic, responsible and technically adaptable — equipped not just to make things look good, but to shape how people understand and respond to the world around them.
The course exposes students to a wide range of design contexts and outputs, from branding and advertising to information design, giving a holistic foundation whether a student ends up a generalist or a specialist.
Teaching is structured around four threads of inquiry — Narrative & Time, Systems & Information, Strategy & Direction, and Personal Development Planning — underpinned by the course’s key pillars of experimentation, community, vocation and critical thinking.

Credits/National Hours
-
What is credit/national hour?
A credit/notional hour is the formal name for the estimated hours that are expected that a student would need to complete a module
-
How many hours is 1 credit?
1 credit is equal to 10 notional hours, so 20 credits are equal to 200 notional hours, The 200 hours includes time in lectures, tutorials, preparing for your lectures, assessments as well as your own personal revision and studying that you would do
-
Can study hours exceed the estimate?
In reality, you might actually go above and beyond the expected notional hours, in particular if your degree requires a lot of independent learning you would most likely exceed the predicted hours
-
How many credits are in a UK semester?
In the UK system each semester is 60 credits worth which is equivalent to at least 600 hours of study in one term. This is approximately equivalent to 8 hours of study a day
