Skills
On our BA Digital Design, our priority is ensuring that you graduate with a creative, professional skillset.
This incorporates;
- Communication design through typography, images and messaging, craft and digital skills drawing on typography
- Graphics and user experience/interfaces (UX/UI)
- Social design: using data as raw material for design, and the ethos of "design for good."
These three strands will ensure that you are ready for the practical realities of digital design work. This could mean working to a brief, pitching design concepts, collaborating with other industries and engaging in user research, fieldwork and ethnography.
Learning
Your studio-based workshops and seminars will be supplemented by lectures, technical demonstrations and open studio sessions where teams will collaborate on projects.
All based in our new, state-of-the-art media centre – the Sir David Bell Building.
- You will be working to brief, developing project management skills, and collaborating with external "clients" on live projects within the community, along with participating in design competitions.
- You will receive support from our School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, leveraging Roehampton's strengths in computer science, media production, and performing arts.
- There are excellent opportunities for collaboration across the School with other courses and teams.
- Between Years 2 and 3, you have the option to embark on a professional placement year, enabling you to gain valuable real-world experience in digital design through placement applications.
