This broad and varied degree allows you to explore the art of illustration and visual communication within the areas of children's and adult narrative, together with editorial and reportage illustration. Working on location, in the studio and workshops, you will experiment with a wide variety of media, including intaglio and silkscreen printmaking, photography, digital imaging, drawing and painting. Within university's supportive atmosphere, you will discover your own style whilst underpinning your creativity with a strong awareness of industry techniques. Your developing skills in practice and critical evaluation will also support you as a practising illustrator, or within the workplace.

This Illustration course will encourage you to develop independent thought, whilst also allowing you to place your skills within their industrial context. Complemented by units in professional and career development, your projects and case studies will ensure you will be experienced in working to briefs. University's supportive staff will be on hand to offer you tutorial guidance in compiling your unique body of studio work, too. You will emerge not only with well developed practical talents, but also with a firm grasp on the professional skills needed to succeed in the visual art industry.

• 200 points from 6-unit or 12-unit awards, or a Foundation course pass.
• You will normally be invited to a portfolio viewing and briefing and maybe formal interview.
