MA Communication Design*

At the Postgraduate Centre at Arts University Plymouth, you will find yourself at the heart of a distinctive kind of creative and collegial community – an arts university run by artists and designers, for artists and designers – a space of thinking and making, and your open threshold to an international network of arts and cultural, commercial and industrial practitioners, businesses and institutions in which we engage, exhibit, curate and publish widely.

<p dir="ltr">We offer the richest, most diverse ecosystem of materials, technologies, processes, practices, and exchange of ideas of any art school in the UK. And that synergy gives us a certain kind of energy.</p> <p dir="ltr">We provide space, equipment and – crucially – the technical support to make full use of this for students across all of our creative programmes. Our 13,000 square metres of studios and workshops across four buildings are kitted out with professional workspaces and state of the art facilities.</p> <p dir="ltr">We actively encourage you to use areas and communal space to curate and exhibit work collaboratively or individually and in various 2D, 3D, 4D and digital formats. Becoming part of our interdisciplinary learning community offers you a diverse and challenging environment in which to develop your thinking and practice.<br /></p>
