Using creativity and imagination, students develop the skills to produce inventive responses to Graphic Design challenges, set in a commercial, multidisciplinary context. The studio based programme is concerned with the student s individual development, working through project briefs in all kinds of traditional and new media. The design process introduces experimental methodologies and creative approaches and explores graphic language, communication theory and semiotics. The programme offers a broad range of opportunities to study the changing concept of graphic design and the role of the designer in society. This occurs through a series of lectures, seminars, workshop activity and studio practice. A special feature of the course is its strong links with the design industry, with visiting professionals from regional and national consultancies, live project briefs and portfolio surgeries. Field trips to Design conferences and cultural centres in Britain and Europe contextualise students learning. Year One of the programme introduces a breadth of subject activity including idea generation, image-making, typography and photography. Digital media, using industry standard software extensively, help students gain the skills to put their ideas into practice. Practical studio work is supported by historical, theoretical and contextual study which enriches student s experience. Year Two offers students the opportunity to investigate in greater depth, aspects of branding and identity design, advertising and promotional graphics, editorial, web and interactive digital design. Students are encouraged to challenge preconceived ideas of the subject and develop a sense of personal ownership through selection of project briefs. A key feature at this level is the involvement with visiting lecturers and practitioners. Professional contexts are investigated through field trips and visits to industrial partners, both regionally and nationally.
2 Page 2 of 9 Year Three responds to students individual progression routes. Through the selection of specialised project briefs at this level, including live briefs set by external clients and a wide range from national and international competitions, students are able to develop their own personal identities and direction. Professional contexts are studied further as students prepare for entry into their chosen profession after graduation. Our graduates secure positions in industry in a wide variety of fields. Typically this might be in branding, publishing, packaging, illustration and web design. Some students develop freelance careers and others have set up their own companies. Others work in related areas such as Public Relations and media while others continue in Higher Education at postgraduate level. Admissions Criteria Full-Time UK and European Union applications must be processed via the UCAS system. For other overseas applications, and part time applications, see below. General Entrance Requirements Applicants for entry to a programme of study will demonstrate that they have the qualifications, and/or experience which will allow them to succeed on the programme of study. The normal entry requirement of York St John University for programmes at Level 4: 200 UCAS points (usually from Foundation Diploma in Art & Design, BTEC National Diploma, A2 Levels or other appropriate qualifications) a) A Pass in at least 5 subjects in the GCSE/GCE examinations to include: 2 passes at A Level (A2) and a minimum of Grade C in English at GCSE or equivalent Or b) An equivalent NQF Level 3 qualification or other qualification recognised by York St John University; Or c) Attainment in accredited courses or modules offered by York St John University or other approved education institution which is deemed to demonstrate capacity to study at the level of entry proposed; Or d) Success in the assessment prescribed under the York St John University Alternative Entry System. Accreditation of Prior (Certificated) Learning (AP(C)L) UCAS Applicants As part of the admissions process students are invited for interview and asked to bring with them a portfolio of work demonstrating their skills and motivations. Those UCAS applicants who have already achieved or partially completed a qualification at HE Level may be eligible for direct entry to the second year. UCAS documents allow for applicants to indicate year two as the entry point to the programme. Qualifications accepted for AP(C)L are completion of the first year of an HND, FD or other relevant subjects. Applicants will be required to produce original certificates / transcripts. Accreditation of Prior (Experiential) Learning (AP(E)L). Credit may be awarded only on the basis of achieved learning and not on the basis of experience itself. Although credit may be awarded for all learning, wherever that learning
3 Page 3 of 9 occurs, it must first be identified and then assessed in terms of its amount, level, relevance, status and currency (as defined in the York College AP(E)L / AP(C)L policy). In other words the applicant must show learning from the experience. Normally an applicant will not be admitted with credit to a point more than half way through the level of the proposed programme of study. In addition, the applicant may have to satisfy award pre-requisites. Credits will normally be limited to a maximum of 50% of the total credit points for the particular award. Most importantly, evidence must be presented to demonstrate that the applicant is familiar with the appropriate knowledge base of the learning claimed. This should include 'reflective expertise', which includes the ability to sustain analytical review and the application of relevant concepts to the planning and evaluation of practice. The amount and level of credit awarded through AP(E)L will be measured against the identified learning outcomes of existing validated courses and of the target programme. Where general AP(E)L credit awards do not precisely match the learning outcomes of validated courses but are related or comparable, professional and academic judgement will be invoked to determine a credit award with consistency and fairness in relation to other credit award decisions and programme learning outcomes. Overseas Applications Applicants will be expected to hold a relevant qualification equivalent to NQF level 3. The required level of English, a minimum of IELTS score of 6.5 on entry, must also be demonstrated. Candidates will be invited to take part in an interview, in advance of which they should submit: A portfolio of work to show that they are capable of undertaking a course at this level. York College is a licensed Learning Assistant, electronic portfolio, centre. All applicants will be offered the opportunity to present their portfolio electronically certificates, pertaining to relevant qualifications to date, for verification by the York College International Office Upon successful completion of the process so far, candidates will take part in a further telephone interview.

It introduces the creative processes, the principles, skills, competencies, and sensibilities of the discipline. It incorporates the following specialist subject areas: ideas generation, image making, typography and lens-based media. Within these areas subject knowledge and technical skills are acquired. The subject areas are developed across three terms, linking creative solutions with relevant technologies and computer applications. The historical and contextual lecture programme in Level 4 provides students with a range of historical reference points within art and design practice. It introduces significant developments in graphic design and the effect and influence if technological change. The module develops a range of subject specific and transferable skills and including oral presentations, contextual research files and an essay submission. The modules across year one make up a total of 120 credits, of which 1 credit represents a nominal ten hours of study, which may comprise both directed and independent learning. Students must achieve 120 credits and pass all modules within the level to progress to Year 2. The student is able to exit after achieving the level 4 outcomes with a Certificate in Higher Education. Level 5 is characterised by more in depth study and increased specialisation. Students are expected to take more responsibility for their own learning and take more control over the direction of their project work. Three themed graphic design modules involve the study of branding and identity, advertising and editorial sequences.

7 Page 7 of 9 However, these may be added to for particular modules or awards. Teaching, Learning and Assessment Teaching, learning and assessment methods used to achieve and demonstrate the learning outcomes Teaching and Learning A wide range of teaching and learning methods are employed, appropriate to the learning outcomes of each module and these focus on the relationship between different kinds of skills knowledge and understanding, cognitive, practical and transferable. Intellectual independence is one of the most important qualities required of a design student and practitioner. It is important that self-discipline and an ability to work without supervision are allowed to develop in order to progress on the programme. Personal initiative in learning is encouraged and developed by the expectation of a high level of self-management as study progresses, so that during honours level (Year 3) students are practising in a professional and appropriately vocational manner. Diagnostic exercises are used during certificate level to analyse current capabilities and readiness to undertake module learning and assessment. Typically, diagnostic exercises will take the form of a written brief that identifies specific learning outcomes. Students will receive feedback in relation to diagnostic exercises, informally during tutorials and formally at the identified assessment points. Formative exercises are used extensively to ensure that the students experience of the programme is coherent and to direct the development of skills and creative abilities specific to individual modules. Typically, formative exercises will take the form of a written brief that identifies specific learning outcomes. Students will receive feedback informally during tutorials or presentations, and formally at the identified assessment points which occur at the end of the specified timeframe identified on all exercise and project briefs. Academic Tutorials are usually conducted on a one-to-one basis; they are an opportunity to receive personal and specific advice and guidance. Tutorials are scheduled to occur at those points in the term when supervision and guidance are particularly necessary. In addition, students may request tutorials from tutors if they need further support and pastoral guidance. Assessment Module content is organised into a series of developmental stages leading to formally identified assessment points identified on project briefs and posted in the design studios. Formative feedback on learning and progress is given to students through participation in a series of diagnostic and formative exercises, relevant to the module and level of study. Students are required to gain a pass (40%) in a formative exercise before progressing to a project which is a summative assessment point. Summative projects will take the form of a written brief designed to assess a student s achievement against specific learning outcomes relating to a particular module. Each module will identify at least one summative project that must be satisfactorily passed in order to progress to the next level. Students will receive feedback on summative projects following completion of the module. Project grades remain provisional until ratification by the Assessment Board at the end of each level.
8 Page 8 of 9 Summative assessment is via graded projects for each module, assessed against the criteria stated in project briefs. Project is the term used to describe formally assessed work produced for summative assessment. Project brief requirements will identify a particular assessment item that students must submit in order to satisfy the assessment criteria for each project. These items may take the form of a portfolio of practical work, design portfolios submitted electronically or on disc, design reports, oral presentations, essays, dissertations or case studies. Assessment Weighting Assessment practices adopted cover a range of formal and informal activities designed to satisfy the requirements of diagnostic, formative and summative assessment. Weighting is the contribution that an assessment makes to the final module mark. The threshold pass for a module is an average of 40% achieved across all components of assessment within the module. Progression and Graduation Requirements The BA (Hons) Graphic Design programme is structured in a modular framework. All modules are compulsory and must be passed in order to progress to the next level. The student is able to exit after achieving the Level 4 outcomes with a Certificate in Higher Education.
