The Bachelor of Arts in Information Design at the University of Pretoria is a three-year degree in the Faculty of Humanities that trains graduates to communicate complex information visually and accessibly — designing graphics, typographic systems, wayfinding, user interfaces, and data visualisations that make information clear and usable. Information designers apply visual communication principles, cognitive science insights, and design thinking to create communication solutions for print, digital, and environmental contexts. South Africa's public sector, healthcare system, and corporate communications all require clear, accessible information design — making UP's Information Design graduates uniquely positioned to contribute across sectors. The programme develops both creative and analytical thinkers who can bridge visual communication and information management.
Admission requirements: English (Home or First Additional Language): Level 5 (60-69%); Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy: Level 3 (40-49%); APS: 30 (excluding Life Orientation).
