M.Des Program in COMMUNICATION DESIGN (Fellowship)

The two-year program offers a specialised qualification that allows you to develop both conceptual thinking and practical skills in visual communication.

You will work across typography, branding, digital media, interaction design, and storytelling to communicate complex information clearly and effectively. Compared to undergraduate design programs, this master degree enables you to engage with deeper design problems, explore user behaviour, and develop solutions that are both strategic and creative. The M.Des fellowship program strengthens research capabilities, encourages experimentation, builds technical proficiency, and helps you create a strong professional portfolio aligned with your chosen area of interest.
