Bachelor of Science (BSc Visual Communication)

The use of images and visuals for communication is as old as humanity itself. Visual communication is the communication of ideas through the visual display of information. Primarily associated with two dimensional images, it includes: art, signs, photography, typography, drawing fundamentals, colour and electronic resources. Recent research in the field has focused on web design and graphically-oriented usability. In a country that has a deficit of designers and creative professionals, a degree in visual communication may just be the route to channelise creative instincts and pursue a career in it. The course offers students openings in the media industry and advertising industry as art directors, copy writers and account executives; in the television industry as programme executive, camera man and editor; in the film industry as directors, actors and art directors; in IT field as web designers, computer graphics artists and animation personnel, interface designers; in the photography industry as photo journalists, advertising photographer, fashion photographer, industrial photographer and wildlife photographer.
