Overview

Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication

This distinctive degree at UTS explores diverse forms of visual communication across design, culture and media. 

Visual communication students acquire an in-depth understanding of the visual world's histories, practices and meanings. 

This will require obtaining the visual knowledge and skills to negotiate rapidly changing technology, visual media, and culture while becoming skilled in apprehending the unprecedented pace at which visual images, visual technologies, and information data are produced.

Students immerse themselves in a practice-oriented, studio-based culture, studying various interdisciplinary subjects, including typography, interaction, and image-making. 

Taught by experts in visual communication, students learn everything from the history and theory of visual culture and technology. 

They also produce cutting-edge creative work in digital media, interaction design, photography, editorial design, information visualisation, web design, wayfinding, mobile apps, code, machine learning, motion graphics, the Internet of things, and 3D technologies such as VR/AR and 3D printing.

Students learn to produce conceptually rigorous and socially responsive work by exploring traditional and experimental research methods. 

They graduate with the capacity to work across and between disciplines, articulate design practices and processes, and apply them to complex problems. 

Graduates develop industry experience through the degree's emphasis on addressing real-world issues in collaborative and team-based work.
