BA Graphic Communication

Comments about BA Graphic Communication - At the institution - Reading - Berkshire

• Objectives
  During your time at Reading you will undertake a large number of creative design projects taught by practising designers. Project briefs investigate a wide variety of design problems – our students design books, catalogues, posters, banknotes, signage, Mac OSX widgets, CDs, exhibitions, websites, interfaces for mobile phones and other hand-held devices, and much more. Although the focus of the course is on practical work, you will also learn about the history and theory of the subject. This will help you to become a well-rounded, creative and versatile designer.
• Entry requirements
  There are different entry qualifications for each programme. Some programmes require you to have a certain amount of knowledge in a subject before you begin the degree programme – this is called a ‘subject requirement’. Other programmes do not have any specific subject requirements. All programmes will, however, expect you to have reached a certain standard in your education and will ask you to achieve certain grades in your examinations. Most programmes have a standard offer so that you know in advance what you are likely to need. Please note that even if you have the minimum entry qualifications, you are not necessarily guaranteed a place on the degree programme.
