Post-Graduate Diploma in Communication Design

In the Communication Design program, you will develop investigative and exploratory work that challenges what is traditionally accepted as graphic design. Through a series of thoughtful projects, you’ll work to break new ground, blur disciplinary boundaries, define your style and join a network of successful design thinkers and industry leaders. In addition to theoretical learning and practical projects, you’ll gain career-focused knowledge and industry experience through a mentorship program, which directly connects you with an experienced industry member. With this mentor, you will work to review projects, incorporate feedback, develop new ideas and explore industry standards and innovations. Throughout the program, you’ll review, edit and develop your portfolio in preparation for a career. Before graduating, you’ll plan, design and build a three-dimensional display to showcase your work to instructors, mentors, employers and industry leaders.
