Programme Overview

The programme aims to offer an exceptional professional education programme that equips graduates with the skills and theoretical knowledge to work and innovate in the Graphic Design sector and the wider creative industries. The objectives of the programme are:  to produce graphic design professionals equipped with creativity, effective oral and written communication, listening and decision-making skills for them to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world.  to provide competent human resource at the highest levels of qualification for training and mentoring of students in intellectual and analytical skills and creative self- development.  to give students opportunities for practical and hands-on-training in skills and competencies in industry and the world of work through collaborative and demand- driven placement and supervision; and  to prepare students in entrepreneurial know-how for job creation and self-employment in the various graphic communication and design disciplines. The Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design programme is an inspiring, rigorous and practical curriculum that offers students the unique opportunity to use creativity and imagination to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts. Currently, few tertiary institutions in the country run a comprehensive academic curriculum in Graphic Design. The B.Sc. Graphic Design students will undertake the same courses in the foundation level with other students in the B.Sc. Landscape Design, Interior Design and Fashion Design programmes. The foundation of the programme introduces students to the multi-disciplinary fundamentals of design across different facets of design, such as techniques in form-making and conceptual visualization. The design elements progressively increase in depth and complexity over the next three years with the introduction of the interior specialization area interwoven with research, skills and visualization to enhance the academics with profession-specific requirements. Central University is committed to the highest standard of learning and teaching experience, educating students to become professional providers of services and products in the interior design environment. The University, therefore, believes that mounting this programme will expand the career opportunities in the design industry for many Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations (SSSCE) and West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) graduates and their equivalent school leavers. The programme will also create opportunities for the large body of mature candidates desiring to improve their potentials to move up the professional ladder in the graphic design industry. The Department of Architecture is endowed with physical facilities such as studios and classrooms equipped with wireless internet services, interactive projectors, A1 Plotters, Autodesk AutoCAD 100, Windows Server that runs the AutoCAD application in addition to the University’s central computer laboratory which will be available for the use of the Graphic Design programme. Besides these, the Marketing and Communication Studies departments of the University have facilities, faculty and courses, which will be accessible to the programme.
