This programme is designed to provide students with a broad and holistic literacy in visual communication. Participants are encouraged to employ visual communication as a mode of discourse and a means of developing a personal, social and/or cultural identity. 
The course reflects the multidisciplinary and ever-changing nature of contemporary communications by covering 2D + 3D design, graphic
design, illustration, moving-image and new media. In addition, there are left-field excursions into cultural anthropology and even performance to stimulate new and innovative ways in which information can be effectively and imaginatively applied, organised, packaged and distributed.The pivotal concern in all projects is content and messaging: “What’s it saying?” is the most commonly used phrase in the department.

Graduates from the ‘Man and Communication’ department are likely to work in the fields of graphic-design, advertising, web-design, illustration, animation, game-development or as autonomous creatives with a job-description that doesn’t yet exist.
