UFV's Graphic and Digital Design diploma program (GDD) provides you with a solid foundation in four fields of professional practice: brand identity, graphic/communication design, dynamic media, and interactive design.
As a student, you are immersed in design practice through project-based learning in collaborative Mac studio spaces.
You’ll build a strong foundation in design process, resourcefulness, and conceptual development, as well as skills in critical thinking, typography, image making, content creation, and industry standard Adobe software.
The Graphic and Digital Design diploma (GDD) is a full-time 60-credit cohort program offered on the Abbotsford campus.
You must register for five courses in each semester and each individual graphic design course is only offered once per academic year on each campus.
GDD is both demanding and rewarding, requiring that you put in the time and commitment to build a strong professional practice portfolio.

Upon successful completion of the two-year Graphic and Digital Design program, you will be able to:
- Demonstrate a working knowledge of the creative industry;
- Understand and utilize processes, tools and technology used in graphic design practice;
- Engage in critical thinking and problem-solving;
- Demonstrate functional competence with principles of visual organization, visual language, typography and theory as applied to visual communication problems;
