The BA (Hons) validated in Graphic Design is a three-year degree structured to progressively develop your creative, technical and professional skills in contemporary visual communication and design practice.
In the first year of the bachelor in Communication Design, you will build strong foundations in visual thinking, conceptual development, digital design, and narrative storytelling. The focus is on developing creative confidence, understanding design processes, and learning how visual communication shapes culture, interaction, and meaning.
In the second year, you will expand into more advanced and experimental design practices, including typography, motion graphics, data visualisation, interactive design, UX/UI design, and AR/VR applications. You will explore how graphic design operates across evolving digital platforms while developing your own creative direction through studio projects, collaboration, and research-led practice.
In the final year of the graduation in Graphic Design, you will focus on professional development through independent projects, portfolio creation, and industry engagement. The bachelor in communication culminates in a Graphic Design Major Project that enables you to produce a substantial body of creative work supported by research, critical thinking, and professional presentation. Internship opportunities and socially engaged design projects further prepare you for careers within the global creative industries.
Throughout the bachelor in Graphic Design and communication you will work with international professors in a dynamic studio environment that combines experimentation, conceptual thinking, and professional practice. All assessments are project-based, helping you build a professional portfolio through practical creative work rather than traditional exams.
The BA (Hons) in Graphic Design is validated by our academic partner, Coventry University, and awarded as a UK degree. Delivered in Cascais, Portugal, the programme combines internationally recognised academic standards with a practical, project-based learning approach. It prepares you for careers in graphic design, branding, UX/UI design, digital media, art direction, editorial design, and the wider creative communication industries.
