Graphic Design

About this programme

Graphic design is about more than making things look good. It's how brands communicate, how messages persuade, and how ideas move people to act. On this course, you'll have the opportunity to learn how to turn creative thinking into practical design solutions across digital, print, branding, motion, and user experience. At the University of Lincoln, this degree is built around what employers actually need from designers today: creative confidence, technical ability, and a strong professional portfolio. From your first year, you'll work on real briefs, industry-style projects, and portfolio development, so by the time you graduate, you're ready to get hired. Students have regular access to workshops, labs, studios, and industry-standard equipment, as well as highly knowledgeable technicians. This environment can help students to develop their knowledge and skills, and complements our purpose-built design studios. Students are currently provided with free access to Adobe Creative Cloud, Autodesk software, and Lynda.com for the duration of their studies.
