BA (Hons) Illustration

This course fosters an innovative, experimental and critical approach to the broad practice of illustration. The course enables you to define your working methodology, using skills and experiences developed through workshops, technical inductions, tutorials and seminars. You are encouraged to explore the wider territory of illustration, challenging the position of the illustrator within commercial and artistic arenas whilst maintaining the core values that underpin the practice.
The course embeds critical and contextual thinking at the heart of illustrative practice, examining, through a programme of lectures, seminars and talks by industry professionals, the history and development of the discipline.
