Master of Arts - Illustration

Arts University Plymouth's MA Illustration program encourages the development of an independent, distinctive illustrative practice, through engaging with contemporary approaches, contexts, audiences and debates.

While the field of contemporary illustration is rapidly expanding, becoming more fluid, autonomous and interdisciplinary in nature, the role of the illustrator provokes many new possibilities for the practitioner and discipline as a whole.

As well as the illustrator’s traditional collaborations with the design community, creative directors and publishers, Arts University Plymouth encourages self-directed alliances such as the formation of collectives, independent publishing, gallery-based ventures and academic research.
