School of Design and Innovation
M.Des. Communication
Programme Overview
The M.Des. Communication programme runs in a project-based learning environment, in which students collaborate in a studio inspired setting, working on speculative and real-world projects. The emphasis on project-based learning is derived from the reality of communication design practice and industry. This programme covers analogue media (visual narratives), and new digital media (immersive media) pathways, which culminates in capstone semester, during which the learners’ personal and professional journeys converge.
