Graphic Design is one of the most versatile visual disciplines, embracing words and pictures, form and structure, time and space.

It’s also one of the most powerful; touching everything from the clothes we wear, the political ideas we believe in, and the way we shape the future of our planet. Good design thrives by looking for new ways to tell both familiar and emerging stories; it’s in clever ideas and beautifully executed outcomes, hand-drawn scribbles, and digital masterpieces.  

Our Graphic Design degree is evolving alongside the ever-changing design industry and the world around us. Now, more than ever, we are looking for purpose-driven thinkers who can respond to human-centred communication problems, and create genuine, positive outcomes with lasting impact. By studying Graphic Design at Falmouth, you'll gain the expertise to address complex design challenges and emerge as a forward-thinking visual communicator.
