Summary
MA Illustration is a programme designed to develop, challenge and push the boundaries of what it means to be a contemporary illustrator in an international industry. A synthesis of theory and practice, this programme creates discourse around what illustration is, and what it can be.
A studio culture opens up collaborative practice, and individual development is fostered through a dedicated studio with individual work spaces. You will explore contemporary issues through traditional image-making techniques to futuristic and experimental techniques.
Postgraduate study of this subject allows for a deeper analysis of themes and texts and enables you to build an innovative and focused portfolio. Often, our students have ambitions for the professional sphere, or they may wish to pursue doctoral studies. In each case, there is a sustained level of research, allied to technical ways of working and conceptual thinking.
