Program Description

The programme introduces a broad range of creative skills, from the generation of ideas to their technical production through printmaking, bookbinding, 3D materials, life drawing, traditional and digital media, with an emphasis on drawing and the development of a unique personal style. You will be part of a vibrant and creative community of commercial artists including illustrators, animators and graphic designers. You will be taught by a teaching team with a broad range of experience working professionally in the creative industries. We encourage our students to self-publish and learn how to produce high-quality production prototypes to pitch to the publishing industry through the use of our in-house Bindery. Be part of an end of year degree show exhibition - view the 2022 Degree Show e-magazine, Unjammed. Our students have won awards such as the prestigious Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards award as well nominations for the Silver Reuben Awards. Students have also been awarded for illustration prizes and awards such as the Oxford University Press Illustration competition, the Macmillan Children’s Book competition, the Caldecott Society and D&AD awards.
