Why you should study this course

Graphic designers harness the power of visual language to shape our perceptions of the world. With this kind of power comes responsibility. Graphic Design at Coventry University isn’t just about making ‘pretty pictures. Instead, the course enables you to practice graphic design as a means of making meaningful contributions to the world. Here is how:

Exploration: the course fosters ways of working that encourage creative discovery. Play and experimentation with analogue and digital mediums, methods and techniques is embedded in all modules. The course is attuned to industry standards, but it does not aim to replicate the working world; instead, it provides a safe space for innovation and uninhibited imagination.
Employability: the course prepares you to be a productive force within industry. You will gain confidence and key professional skills by working on authentic design briefs, with real clients, taking part in studio visits and portfolio reviews, attending guest and alumni talks and showcasing your work through participation in renowned competitions such as D&AD². (All opportunities are subject to availability.)
Technical Skill: the course wants you to take pride in the work that you make. Attention to detail and industry standard designs are developed through practiced skill and iteration. Craftsmanship is considered just as important as a clever idea.
Critical Thinking: the course believes that an inquisitive and investigative mindset leads to original designs. You will learn to gather data, ask questions and draw conclusions to justify design decisions. In a world of questionable news and misinformation, an informed, inquisitive designer can begin to make a change in local, national and global communities.
Storytelling: the course channels the power of design to connect and engage with people. Not only will you use design to solve problems, but through storytelling methods you will also access design's ability to enchant and activate emotions.

What you'll study

This course has a common first year.

The common first year enables you to work alongside students doing similar courses to you, to widen your knowledge and exposure to other subject areas and professions. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with other students, so you can share your insights and experience which will help you to develop and learn.

If you discover an interest in a specific subject you have studied, upon successful completion of your first year, you could swap degrees with another course in your common first year (subject to meeting progression requirements).

Common first year courses:

Automotive and Transport Design BA (Hons)
Graphic Design BA (Hons)
Product Design BA (Hons)

In the first year, the curriculum is shared across related courses allowing you to gain a broad grounding in the discipline before going on, in the second and third years, to specialist modules in your chosen field.

In your common first year you will explore the fundamentals of design. With a focus on process, you will explore techniques, technologies and research-inspired design as you work on both individual and team projects.

Modules

Design Exploration - 20 credits

This module introduces you to a series of fundamental analogue processes, tools and techniques used in the expression and communication of design ideas. Through experimentation with hands-on tools, techniques and methods for exploration and idea generation, you will learn key foundational skills and how to apply them in graphic design work.

Compulsory

Design Visualisation - 20 credits

This module introduces you to some of the key graphic design software and principles that you will need to develop and finish work on the course. With an emphasis on the exploration of digital skills and processes, you will learn where and how to effectively apply techniques, and you will learn about essential formatting and file conventions.

Compulsory

Design Enquiry - 20 credits

This module focuses on research: what it is and why it’s useful. You will be asked to produce graphic design work that draws on outside influences, and on design theory, for inspiration—and in doing so you will analyse and critique other designers, design thinkers and their work. This helps you to understand your own design decisions as part of the ongoing story of graphic design.

Compulsory

Design Reflection - 20 credits

This module encourages you to critically reflect on your graphic design work, your Coventry University learning journey and your career plans. In helping you to become more reflective, this module helps you to begin taking ownership of your design decisions and future thinking through consideration of your strengths, your areas for development and your design aspirations.

Compulsory

Design Context - 20 credits

This module challenges you to approach graphic design from a problem-solving perspective. In doing so, you will be factoring real-world issues into a design project. For instance, you will consider how your work might be manufactured and how an audience will use it. In doing this, you will become more adept at making functional and feasible pieces of graphic design.

Compulsory

Design Experience - 20 credits

In year two, you will continue to develop the skills and knowledge you’ve learnt. We do this by embedding the following four principles into the curriculum and developing your:

Technical skills – digital fluency, backed with the right academic knowledge
Study skills – to be an adaptive, independent and proactive learner
Professional skills – to have the behaviour and abilities to succeed in your career
Global awareness – the beliefs and abilities to be a resilient, confident and motivated global citizen

In the second year, you will begin to think more professionally about graphic design. Projects will build up on your year one experience and develop your skills across editorial and web design, app design, font design, campaign work and design writing. All of this will help you to make more concrete decisions about your interests and aspirations. By the end of the second year, all students should be internship-ready, having also engaged with clients on real-life assignments.

Modules

Design System - 20 credits

This module pushes you to devise a commercially viable ‘design system’. Design systems provide continuity and commonality across a range of design assets that help unify them as a single piece of work. Systematic thinking is crucial to graphic design, and you’ll get to develop this skill through the creation of your very own typeface!

Compulsory

Design Interaction - 20 credits

This module asks you to balance audience needs, behaviours and motivations in the design of a fit-for-purpose app. You will look at UI / UX conventions in relation to accessibility, usability, and user expectations and needs, and you will be taught how to build and test your app using relevant software.

Compulsory

Design Narrative - 20 credits

This module allows you to explore the power of design to tell engaging stories. You will look at editorial and web design as narrative mediums that not only allow you to communicate content effectively, but also take audiences on a journey of discovery. In the design process you will learn key editorial tricks and fundamental web coding skills that are increasingly sought after in industry.

Compulsory

Design Activism - 20 credits

This module focuses on the practice of design-for-change and asks you to use online and offline channels to deliver compelling calls to action in service of a cause. You will look at historic and contemporary campaign work to establish likely successful approaches, and with this knowledge you will devise your own awareness campaign that is relevant to well-defined target audiences.

Compulsory

Design Profession - 20 credits

This module challenges you to further explore graphic design professional practice in team assignments for real clients. You and your team will negotiate briefs and deadlines and you will be responsible for meeting your client’s needs in the production of publishable work. You will be supported by your tutors who will oversee the work and help you develop your project management skills.

Compulsory

Design Specialism - 20 credits

This module allows you to explore and interrogate a specialism of your choice which you will select from the broad spectrum of professional graphic design and graphic design-related roles. You will use a public-facing blog to document your discoveries and showcase your thoughts. To consolidate your investigation, you will write your very first design review or opinion piece to a publishable standard. In doing this, you will become more articulate in voicing design ideas and more familiar with a potential career route.

Compulsory

There’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement² can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final year of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future.

If you choose to do a work placement year, you will pay a reduced tuition fee³ of £1250. For more information, please go to the fees and funding section. During this time you will receive guidance from your employer or partner institution, along with your assigned academic mentor who will ensure you have the support you need to complete your placement.

Whilst we would like to give you all the information about our placement/study abroad offering here, it is often tailored for each course every year and depending on the length of placement or study abroad opportunities that are secured. Therefore, the placement and study abroad arrangements vary per course and per student. Request further information about going on a placement or study abroad year.

Modules

UK Work Placement– 0 credits

This module² provides you with an opportunity to reflect upon and gain experience for an approved placement undertaken during your programme. A placement should usually be at least 26 weeks or equivalent; however, each placement will be considered on its own merits, having regard to the ability to achieve the learning outcomes.

Optional

International Study/Work Placement – 0 credits

This module² provides you with an opportunity to reflect upon and gain experience for an approved international study/work placement undertaken during your programme. A work/study placement should usually be at least 26 weeks or equivalent; however, each placement will be considered on its own merits, having regard to the ability to achieve the learning outcomes.

Optional

Your final year aims to bring you to the level to enter the world of work by consolidating your knowledge and skills from years one and two.

We aim to empower you to take ownership over the development of portfolio work in relation to your career aspirations. This means you’ll be able to personalise module briefs to suit your individual developmental needs.

With your accumulated understanding of graphic design contexts and theory, an inquisitive mind and process driven design, you will be encouraged to challenge graphic design's boundaries through speculative projects and participation in renowned design competitions.

Modules

Design Agility - 20 credits

Design Identity - 20 credits

This module picks up where your second year ended by advancing your professional thinking and positioning. You will consider your likely future career and prepare personal branding, write and design your CV and draw up plans for your exit portfolio which you will continue to build throughout the rest of this year.

Compulsory

Design Experiment - 20 credits

This module challenges you to redefine what graphic design can be and push the boundaries of the discipline. Through research as practice, you will get to explore aspects of design that interest you through an experimental mindset. You may therefore produce innovative work that defies standard definitions of design, but which allows you freely pursue ideas and develop skills you may have always been curious about but never got the chance to practice.

Compulsory

Design Adventure - 20 credits

This module draws on an external national or international competition brief for which you will design and submit solutions in a team. Your challenge is to exploit this opportunity to practise your expertise as part of a large project that capitalises on each team-member's strengths. You will be provoked to be adventurous in project definition and realisation, step outside of your comfort zone and explore the limits of your abilities.

Compulsory

Design Showcase - 20 credits

This module requires you to prepare, pitch and develop ideas for your end-of-year graphic design showcase. Working both individually and in teams, you will devise the brief and create a targeted brand and showcase assets as a presentation framework for your portfolio of work.

Compulsory

Design Culture - 20 credits

This module gives you space to demonstrate your intellectual prowess in the interrogation and debate of a graphic design idea related to your own practice and aspirations. You will draw on careful research (history, theory, etc.) to produce a critical, thoughtful and nuanced essay (written or video) that observes academic standards. This is your chance to give back and contribute to graphic design knowledge and culture.

Compulsory

We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.

How you'll learn

The course prides itself on a holistic approach which exposes you to a wide range of graphic design contexts and outputs. You will experiment and practice with materials, methods and technologies as you learn about the creation, production and distribution of design work.

Theory, research and critical enquiry are seen as integral to the design process and will guide the development of work on most modules. Technical skills instruction sessions introduce you to fundamental practical and software tools, including the Adobe suite. The course encourages play and whilst it has employability at its core it does not aim to fully replicate the industry environment, making space also for creative exploration and the uninhibited investigation of ideas that could pave the way to future innovation.

You will achieve increasing levels of control over what you make and how you make it as your confidence and creative voice becomes more established during your Coventry University Graphic Design journey.

This course is taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars and workshops. The course is not prescriptive, instead it proposes lines of inquiry which you are encouraged to engage with and study outside of class.

Teaching contact hours

You will typically have 15-18 hours per week in your first year, 12-15 hours in your second year, and 9-12 hours in your final year. The contact hours may be made up of a combination of face-to-face teaching, individual and group tutorials, and online activities.

Additionally, you will be expected to undertake significant self-directed study each week, depending on the demands of individual modules.

We understand that everyone learns differently, so we’ll look to manage your learning journey to match your strengths and aspirations. Your learning experience on each of our courses will consist of structured teaching sessions, which can include:

On campus lectures, seminars and workshops
Group work
Self-directed learning
Work placement opportunities².

If you would like more information, you can request information about teaching hours.

Part of university life is undertaking self-directed learning. During a typical week you will have time that allows you to work independently to apply the skills and knowledge you have learnt in taught or facilitated sessions to your projects or assignment briefs. This self-directed learning allows you to use your research skills, consolidate your knowledge or undertake collaborative group work.

As an innovative and enterprising institution, the university may seek to utilise emerging technologies within the student experience. For all courses (whether on-campus, blended, or distance learning), the university may deliver certain contact hours and assessments via online technologies and methods.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are prepared for courses due to start in or after the 2022/2023 academic year to be delivered in a variety of forms. The form of delivery will be determined in accordance with Government and Public Health guidance. Whether on campus or online, our key priority is staff and student safety.

Assessment

This course is assessed using a variety of methods that recognise module-specific skills and learning. You are predominantly assessed by coursework and assessment methods prepare you for the diverse contexts in which your design work may exist.

Assessment methods include:

Practical coursework
Digital coursework
Individual work
Group work
Live presentations
Video presentations
Video essays
Academic essays

The Coventry University assessment strategy aims to ensure that our courses are fairly assessed and allows us to monitor student progression towards achieving the intended learning outcomes.

International experience opportunities

There are opportunities for exchange with students on a similar course in overseas universities. For example, second and third year students will be provided with opportunities to visit an international university as part of their studies. European cultural visits will be offered to all students in all years².

Throughout the course, graphic design projects are set with an international focus, enhancing your global experience and broadening your mindset. Students will also engage in Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) projects with partner institutions and other international universities around the world².

To be a good graphic designer is to be a good communicator, and with that ability students have the potential to achieve within a huge spectrum of creative communications-related fields. We love seeing our students find their voices, grow their knowledge and develop their skills during their time with us.

How do you know if you need to pay UK or international tuition fees?

We carry out an initial fee status assessment based on the information you provide in your application. Your fee status determines your tuition fees, and what financial support and scholarships may be available to you. The rules about who pays UK (home) or international (overseas) fees for higher education courses in England are set by the government's Department for Education. The regulations identify all the different categories of student who can insist on paying the home rate. The regulations can be difficult to understand, so the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) has provided fee status guidance to help you identify whether you are eligible to pay the home or overseas rate.

If you meet all the criteria required by any one category, including any residence requirements, your institution must charge you the home rate. You only need to find one category that you fit into.
