An independent, private, equal opportunity, and co-educational liberal arts institution of higher education, the American University of Kuwait (AUK) offers students a quality education based on an American college model. The faculty, administration, and staff work hard to create a caring environment where every aspect of student's development gets attention and support. The course of study is designed to prepare students for the contemporary world where critical thinking, communication skills, and life-long learning have become imperative.
The Graphic Design (GDES) degree program at AUK offers students the opportunity to pursue a degree emphasising a balance of theory and practice in art and science of visual communication. Both the teaching and practice are emphasised to foster critical thinking and problem solving that prepare the student for the real-world challenges one will face in the professional sphere. The program is also inspired by a vision that design methodology and technologies can support the creative exploration of traditional and modern design concepts and principles. The program includes history of graphic design, typography, symbols, information design, systems, 3D, and multi-media design.
GDES program graduates are instilled with the skills of marketable designers and are prepared for employment in graphic design studios, publishing houses, corporations, non-profit institutions, film and video production companies, advertising, and multimedia firms.
