MA LEVEL
MA VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS, one year full time, two years part time
From September 2009, subject to validation in June 2009
MA Visual Communications provides the opportunity to acquire practical and conceptual skills and knowledge of their linked application and influence drawing from a range of complementary areas, including Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography, Web Design and Animation.
Initial practice and contextual modules explore cross-disciplinary approaches equipping students with a broad range of skills and visual language. Later stages of the course provide students with the option to continue to develop their practice along multi-disciplinary lines or to utilise these influences as part of developing their creative solutions in an individual subject. The degree culminates in the research and creation of a major piece of practice based work.
In this rapidly developing environment, the most successful practitioners are those people who can embrace alternative approaches, adopt the widest range of skills, and fully appreciate the many methods of media communication. To help meet the challenge of multi-disciplinary design communication, the University of Gloucestershire has developed this innovative MA programme that draws on the strengths of its staff working across many creative fields. Graphic Design, Photography, Illustration, Digital, Moving Image and Animation are just some of the complementary disciplines that you will be able to explore during this programme.
This is your opportunity to investigate integrated design and associated subject areas and then harness those particular skills to produce a uniquely effective creative communication. You will be actively encouraged to look at problem-solving from alternative viewpoints, with an emphasis on creative experimentation and innovative risk-taking.
Your studies will be supported and enhanced through a stimulating programme of lectures and seminars, while further inspiration will be gained through talks and discussion groups led by visiting professional practitioners. Your MA studies will have at their core your desire to develop a practical creative project - one you already have in mind or which arises as a result of consultation with your lecturers at the University of Gloucestershire. The range of outcomes is unlimited, or rather; they are only limited by your imagination. Your final Major Project will predominantly be a practice-based piece that is either the product of a cross-disciplinary creative approach or focussed around a particular specialism.
