It’s personality, passion and the quality of the work in a portfolio that gets students a job in the creative industries, and that’s what the degree courses in Graphic Design and Illustration at the University of Cumbria develop in our graduates. The extensive feedback, support and guidance students receive throughout their studies means that they leave as flexible, fully prepared, highly motivated, professional designers and illustrators, ready to hit the ground running and with the confidence and creative skills necessary to stand out from the crowd. In fact, just the type of graduate the creative industries are crying out for.
