Course Summary

The Graphic Design program at EUC equips you with key professional skills in the latest technologies that transform the visual landscape.  You will learn the fundamentals of art history, drawing and illustration and apply long-established principles to the unfolding aesthetics of computer-generated art and electronic media. Facilities at EUC simulate those of an advertising agency or production company to create a positive and productive experience for students and an understanding of this fast-paced and evolving field.  Highly qualified faculty, Erasmus exchanges, competitions, festivals and conferences all give students the opportunity to fully engage with the field and its developments. Internships connect fourth-year students with graphic design, advertising and media production firms to gain experience prior to graduation.
