Graphic Communication with Diploma in Creative Computing

Graphic communication is the discipline concerned with how ideas, information and identity are expressed visually, through brands, typography, layout, image and interaction. It sits at the intersection of fine art and commercial communication, requiring both creative thinking and the technical skills to execute that thinking across print, screen and motion contexts. The diploma in creative computing that runs alongside this programme adds another dimension: the programming, interactive design and digital making skills that increasingly define what is possible in contemporary visual communication.

At Norwich University of the Arts, this five-year full-time programme with a diploma in creative computing is a forward-facing degree in contemporary brand communications. You will design brands and visual identities, advertising campaigns and digital communications including websites, apps, motion graphics, film and animation, developing a practice that spans the full range of contemporary visual design. The diploma in creative computing extends your capability into code-driven design, interactive media and the digital tools that are reshaping what graphic designers and communicators can do.

Norwich University of the Arts's specialist focus on the arts and creative disciplines means your development as a designer happens in an environment entirely dedicated to creative education.

Graduates of graphic communication programmes go on to careers as graphic designers, brand designers, art directors, UX and UI designers, motion designers, digital designers, creative directors and design consultants, in agencies, in-house design teams, publishing, advertising, digital product companies and independent practice. The creative computing dimension adds particular value in roles that involve interactive media, web design, data visualisation and digital product development. Further study in graphic design, interaction design, creative computing or design management is available for those who want to pursue specialist or research paths.
