The MA in Illustration gives you the opportunity to navigate your practice within a supportive creative community, build confidence in your work, develop visual storytelling skills and succeed with a sustainable creative profession.
You’ll have access to excellent creative facilities and your own studio space to question, challenge and explore your image-making skills.
Underpinning the course is visual storytelling, as well as practice-as-research. Students are encouraged to take their work in their own idiosyncratic directions. There is no predetermined outcome – it is part of the course to develop your own themes and creative inquiries. The drawing and practical experimentation is framed as practice-as-research to provide structure and a theoretical rigour to your work.
You should hold at least a 2.2 Bachelors degree with honours.
Graduate career-ready and discover a range of exciting roles in illustration. Work independently as a freelance illustrator, design for graphic novels, games art, animation, storyboarding and visualisation for production design.
