Course summary
Illustration continues to develop and evolve as a discipline, pushing the boundaries of conventional understanding.
This master's course is responsive to the ever-fluctuating, ever-evolving market for illustrative visual material, and aims to build upon your existing knowledge, refining the direction of your practice to move in new directions and pathways that are informed, critical and imaginative.
Using traditional and digital methods to augment your practice through exhibition, publication or exciting new interdisciplinary forms, this MA will refine your understanding of contemporary illustration and your individual specialist interests.
