BA Graphic Design School in Florence, Italy in English

With all Classes in English, the 3-year program results in a UK Bachelor's Degree in collaboration with Goldsmiths, University of London. Its setting in Florence is central to providing an inspirational learning environment. Students apply concepts related to the elements and principles of Italian design to real modern-day situations. The course is a basic but intensive introduction to the graphic design and digital media, with the studio design course being the main focus of the studies. It rapidly moves from fundamental design principles to the planning process to the final guidelines for creating resolved two-dimensional artwork. Students interact with faculty and peers to develop design critique and presentation skills.

The course introduces fundamental principles of visual communication, including design theory, research, concept development, typography, composition, illustration, and digital design techniques. Students develop their creative and technical skills through a series of individual design assignments.

The second year provides a more advanced exploration of graphic design while expanding into digital media. Students undertake larger and more complex projects involving detailed client briefs, creative problem-solving, visual identity, branding strategies, and mixed-media communication. The curriculum also develops skills in interactive media, digital illustration, photography, video, motion graphics, and multimedia.

Located in the historic center of Florence, the program draws inspiration from the city's rich artistic and cultural heritage, providing an engaging environment in which students can develop their individual creative approach to contemporary graphic design.
