The Department of Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design is proud to have some of the very talented and active faculty members, who have won numerous local and international awards and are well-respected in the field. Apart from their artistic sides, faculty members are also active researchers in their field of interest, who continuously participate conferences and publish in reputable journals.

Being part of a productive department, students are regularly representing our department in respected competitions, where they have become winners of three top prizes in the last two years. The Department also includes the 'VACD Design Centre', which was formed to provide students with the opportunity to work on real-life projects.

Each year, the Department is also the host of two international events, 'Grafica versus Grafica' and 'Transmedia', that gives the students the chance to meet and listen to the reputable personas in the field.

Departmental Facilities
The Department mainly uses the basic design workshops and computer labs structured for multimedia and graphic design, and are supported by animation/video design labs and photography studios. The program offers opportunities to the other departments of the faculty and the university, while using the faculty's television studios, audio studios, editing suites and video equipment. The program also helps students interact with other disciplines, mostly radio, film, TV, advertising, PR and journalism to familiarise them with the multidisciplinary structure of communications.
