Check if you qualify

The BA Graphic Design at Radford University College is a degree programme in the Faculty of Fine Arts. It prepares you for work in visual communication, using typography, colour and layout to convey ideas. Entry is less competitive than many degree programmes, so it's a practical choice if you meet the basic requirements.

What you learn on a graphic design degree

Programmes of this kind usually combine studio practice with theory. You develop skills in drawing, colour theory, typography, layout, and digital tools such as Adobe software. You also learn how to understand client briefs, think visually, and present your work professionally. Many programmes include projects that simulate real studio work.

How hard it is to get a place

At Radford University College, this programme is less competitive to enter. That means the required grades are generally more attainable than for some other creative arts programmes. For comparison, the same programme is competitive at KNUST, while other universities such as Central, Ho Technical and Koforidua Technical are also less competitive. You should still check the specific entry requirements to see if your grades qualify.

Career options after you graduate

Most graphic design graduates go into design studios, advertising agencies, publishing houses, or work as freelance designers. You could specialise in branding, packaging, digital design, or animation. With experience, some become art directors or creative leads. The degree also opens doors to related fields like user experience (UX) design and design management.
