The role of the illustrator or animator is not ephemeral, temporary or mere entertainment. It is ecological, cultural, political and technological, challenging the momentum of the twenty-first century. Illustrators and animators must deploy their skills and imagination to respond to the wider political and cultural climate with more urgency and vigour than ever.
Imagination is a powerful force, able to create and configure new ideas and develop dreams for both the individual and humanity as a whole. This Master’s degree course provides illustrators and animators with the skills and knowledge to effectively harness this power in their unique practice and their proposed project.
The MA in Illustration and Animation at Cardiff Met will appeal to graduates of any discipline of the visual arts, as well as professionals looking to sharpen their critical and theoretical skills.
You will normally have achieved a first class or second class upper division first degree (1st or 2.1 degree classification) in an appropriate subject, and/or equivalent professional standing or experience in an art design, design crafts, or creative industries discipline, based upon assessed Accredited Prior Learning or assessed Accredited Prior Experiential Learning, or a discipline associated with their programme of study.

The MA Illustration & Animation course enables graduates, mid-career and professional practitioners from within and outside of the disciplines of Illustration & Animation to negotiate and examine visual communication strategies of practice whilst being able to create their own hybrids of practice that can further enhance the territory that illustration and/or animation can occupy.
All students receive individual PDP tutorials to support employability and life-long learning. Students will be expected to maintain learning journals evidencing continuous visual documentation that integrates opportunities for self-reflection in order to help them develop as effective and confident learners.
At the conclusion of the programme, a very high percentage of MA graduates establish or continue their professional practice, enabled by the links they have made with design studios or organisations associated with the visual arts and design. Some elect to continue with their Illustration & Animation studies at CSAD by undertaking a PhD.
