Course Leader, MA in Graphic Design (online)

The opportunity

We are looking for an experienced academic to lead the development and delivery of a new fully online MA in Graphic Design.

You will join the London College of Communication Design School and will work in collaboration with UAL Online, bringing your experience of teaching and practice in Graphic Design to develop a creative and future facing curriculum and learning experience for a new global audience of learners.

You will manage the course academic staff, lead teaching and assessment, and will collaborate with UAL Online and college colleagues to support the development, launch and growth of the course.

About you

We are looking for someone with specialist academic and leadership experience in design education and a strong understanding of the contemporary graphic design industry to lead this newly validated MA course.

You’ll have established teamworking and communication skills and will be able to support a growing team with highly collaborative hybrid working methods. You will bring diverse perspectives and industry voices into the new course curriculum and will be ready to support a globally dispersed cohort to develop their individual graphic design practices.

You don’t need extensive experience of online teaching and learning, but you do need to be open to the advantages of flexible fully online delivery to widen access to Higher Education.

 

If you have any queries about this role or need any reasonable adjustments for your application, please contact Lesley Wilkins, Senior Resourcing Adviser, lcc.jobs@lcc.arts.ac.uk or telephone: 020 7514 7985
