Florence Institute of Design International

BA in Graphic Design

We are offering a 3-year Bachelor of Arts Degree, BA (Hons) Graphic Design issued in collaboration with Goldsmiths, University of London. The programme instils an appreciation for the fusion of artistry, research, and technical expertise which is then reinterpreted to develop your own creative voice and cultural perspective. The overarching teaching method is for the development and progression of your unique creative voice and style. During the programme you will have the opportunity to investigate a range of disciplines and contexts associated with contemporary graphic design, visual communication, semiotic theory and typography. The programme has an emphasis on how Italian context provides an invaluable foundation to navigate contemporary design. The programme draws from the rich cultural heritage of Florence together with its legacy of twentieth century Italian and international design. You will learn how to analyse graphic design from a cultural, historical, ecological and societal perspective, through the exploration of connected disciplines such as film, photography, visual communication and multimedia. You will gain a deeper understanding of the correlation between graphic design, technology, politics and visual culture along with the influence and impact that graphic design imposes on society and contemporary culture.
