Course summary

Communication Design touches on every aspect of 21st century life. It is of fundamental importance to the way we relate to each other and our environment. NUA is a centre of design expertise with students winning competitions of national and international importance and graduates leading and working at significant global agencies. You will be encouraged to challenge conventional thinking as you consider the practical application of your ideas.
