Honours is for people who want their work to matter, and can explain why.
You will explore how visual communication shapes meaning, culture, and value, while developing a creative practice that is critically informed and professionally relevant. The programme sits between theory and practice, asking you to question what you make, how you make it, and why it matters.
The year begins with two core subjects: one theory-led and one practice-led. You will move between reading, writing, debate, and guided creative projects that support the development of a distinct creative voice and conceptual position.
In the second semester, the programme expands into commercial creative practice. You will learn how to position and monetise your work, develop a business plan, and understand how creative practice functions in real-world contexts. Alongside this, you will produce a substantial body of creative work and a mini-dissertation that articulates the intellectual framework of your practice.
The year culminates in a public showcase where research and creative production are presented as a coherent body of work.
Honours prepares you for postgraduate study, academia, and industry. More than that, it equips you to operate critically, creatively, and strategically within contemporary design practice.
This is where you stop responding to briefs and start defining your own terms.
