Overview

On the Graphic Design (Hons) course from University of Hertfordshire you’ll begin by learning the understated power of typography, logo design, brand identity and layout – fundamentals that will underpin your craft, whatever direction you take.

Key facts

With them under your belt, at the end of the year you’ll have the option of continuing on a pure Graphic Design pathway or switching to our Graphic Design: Advertising and Branding degree.

It’s a powerful mix of freedom, inspiration and support that prepares you for an incredible career. In fact, in recent years it’s earned our students award wins in all the most coveted competitions including D&AD yellow pencils, Creative Conscience Gold medals and ISTD awards.

What's next for my career?

The graphic design courses send you out into the world with a cracking portfolio and a crate-load of practical industry skills. It’s no wonder our graduates have a great track record for landing sought-after graphic design jobs in some of the UK’s most high-profile agencies including Superunion, Moving Brands and Taxi Studio.

They’re snapped up as advertising creatives, branding specialists, motion designers, editorial creatives, graphic designers and art directors. Some even set up their own businesses, come back to us later as design teachers or become studio managers.
