Brief history
The Department of Graphic Design attained a full departmental status in 2007 after it had existed as an Academic Unit under the Department of Art Education since the inception of the University of Education, Winneba in 1992. The first batch of six (6) students were admitted in 2006/2007 Academic Year to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design. The Department since its inception, continues to deliver on its mandate of providing opportunities for the study of an internationally recognized Bachelor of Art level programme in research and practice of Graphic Design. In this pursuit, the Department is resolute in the training of students to develop their creative sensibilities, intuitive perceptions, feelings, and experiences through design thinking, that are necessary for our conscientious efforts towards growth and development.
