Description/Abstract:

According to the latest stats from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), 182,085 students were studying creative arts and design in 2011/12 (www.hesa.ac.uk/content/ view/1897/239). Although graphic design students make up some of this number, it still leads to the question – why do so many students want to be educated in this subject – there can not possibly be an equal number of creative jobs to fill each year. Right?
This article documents some of the student experiences on the Graphic Design course at Epsom and the opportunities on offer.
