The department of Graphic Design follows an educational program that allows the aspiring design student to solve any visual problem with a contemporary point of view, using a wide range of technologies.

Finally, the projects and studio works incorporate fields like communication design, illustration, computer graphics, and presentation. The major goal of the Graphic Design Program is to train creative and broad minded young designers for communication and multi media design and to reach professional standards in design and production. To achieve this goal, students also receive courses in art and culture and are encouraged to intern with advertising agencies.
