The MA Graphic Design programme at Kingston School of Art takes a practice-based, research-orientated approach. In doing so, we anticipate the future potential and practice of graphic design. 

Our TEF Gold standard teaching team will ask you to examine your own practice and identify existing practice-based research methods. You’ll expand your practice through notions of  rigour, originality, play, experimentation, ethics, positioning and inclusivity.

Kingston’s Graphic Design MA emphasises individuality and experimentation, blending theoretical and practical approaches. You’ll benefit from industry-standard facilities, expert lecturers and a focus on future design challenges.

The course encourages experimental and innovative approaches to graphic design. You'll explore advanced design methods, critical thinking and practical applications, working on live projects and building a professional portfolio.

Students will benefit from a variety of different learning and teaching approaches including:

  • brief-led project work
  • workshops that encourage creative experimentation
  • individual critical reflection.
