DEPARTMENT OF GRAPHIC DESIGN
In 1992, the PNDC Law upgraded polytechnic education in Ghana to tertiary status, leading to the introduction of the HND in Commercial Arts at Takoradi Polytechnic. The Polytechnic Act 2007 (Act 745) later strengthened polytechnic education and provided opportunities for new programmes. In 2008, the Department of Graphic Design was established from the former Fine Art Department to offer Graphic Design courses under the HND in Commercial Arts programme.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
