You’ll gain a holistic and critical understanding of print and digital publishing which you’ll put into practice through project-based working, developing creative content and exploring innovative ways to engage new audiences.With the opportunity to specialise in magazine or book publishing through your choice of assignments, you’ll be introduced to concepts across both media, building your transferable skillset while exploring the evolution of publishing as a creative industry.You’ll choose your own journey through the course, developing industry-facing and academic skills before completing a major project that suits your interests.UAL is committed to ensuring that its students’ knowledge and skills are set within a contemporary personal and professional ethical framework in order they may make positive impact in practice particularly in relation to the UAL Principles of Climate, Racial and Social Justice. These principles help inform our approach to Publishing, developing an ethical awareness in our activity, understanding our impact on the climate and nature, valuing and promoting diverse audiences and identities, and recognising the role of publishing for advocacy and futures thinking.
