Deepen your design practice

Do you work in the creative industry? With the part-time Bachelor’s Graphic Design, you will become an autonomous designed and you get to take your design practice to the next level.  

The course made me realise that designing is much more than making a logo or poster. By working on current issues in society, I've discovered that as a designer you can use your creativity to make a valuable contribution to important topics.
