- The major Illustration & Animation Design focuses on creating images. The two main subjects concentrate on still images and moving images. Drawing and Painting, Photography, Visual Typography and Professional Development are the most important auxiliary subjects. Graduates will be proficient in creating images by hand, but also have professional digital design skills.
The degree programme equips the student with the competences required of a professional in the field of Design as mentioned below:
