Why should Graphic Design at UC Sheffield be in your top 5 UCAS choices?

Graphic design is an incredibly varied and creative sector, with job roles ranging from web development, brand identity designer, illustrator and beyond. That's why a higher level qualification in this area can be a fantastic way to acquire knowledge and skills that you can then build a career on.

But don't just take our word for it - our creative practice tutor, Paul, has decades of experience both in the professional realm and as a teacher. He told us exactly why our HND in Creative Practice should make it into your top 5 UCAS choices...

 

1. Practical, hands-on experience

A HND course is more practical, combining theoretical knowledge with work-related experience to integrate learning and apply theoretical concepts in real-world scenarios. That means that when you come to apply for jobs you'll feel confident about working on real projects.

 

2. Industry recognition

HNDs are recognised nationally and internationally, which can significantly boost your graduate profile in the job market. The Higher National Diploma curriculum is also developed in collaboration with industry leaders, ensuring it remains relevant and current, so you're learning the things that employers actually want to see on your CV.

 

3. Flexible skills

Our HND Creative Practice course contains three pathways, graphic design, media and photography, with all students sharing some core modules. This means that you'll be learning alongside students from other specialisms and can share ideas, discover new techniques and develop an awareness of other specialisms which will benefit you in your future career.
