I have had numerous queries about studying Graphic Design at UNISA. So, for those of you who would like to know more here is some information to get you started.
UNISA does not offer a degree or diploma in Graphic Design. What they do offer is a Degree of Bachelor of Arts (Culture and Arts) with specialisation in Multimedia Studies. This Degree has a distinctive contemporary art focus and students are required to do practical painting, drawing and sculpture as part of the course.
| Qualification stream: | Multimedia Studies: Multimedia in Digital Visual Arts |
| Qualification code: | 02305 – MMD |
| NQF level: | 6 |
| Total credits: | 360 |
Prospective students must keep in mind that they have to attend TWO workshops for every practical module they enrol for. This is a requirement of the university and the department. Workshops and exam assessments are done in Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban only.
For registration dates visit www.unisa.ac.za/myRegistration.

Hi Shene, it looks like the UNISA server is down... You'll have to try again later, just click on the like above. Let me know if you still can't get access.
Hi, I am just finishing up my diploma in photography and would like to study a degree in graphic design. However I am well aware of the requirements and portfolio submissions I have to make. However I am definitely not that good at drawing and wouldn't want to take these subjects in the degree that UNISA offers. Is there another way? or other accredited modules I could replace those with?
Hi Lizeldi, please contact UNISA with your query - Email: arthelpdesk@unisa.ac.za
Thanks so much for the info! This really helped. You answered exactly what I wanted to know :-)
