Master of Arts in Design, Visual Communication

A one year master degree in visual communication, covering image and message, motion and interaction, communication strategy, professional practice and a final project.

Visual communication sits broader than graphic design, taking in motion, interaction and spatial work as well as print.

Master of Arts in Design, Visual Communication is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the visual communication master is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the visual communication master, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the visual communication master plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the visual communication master does not support a family move.
