Master of Arts - Illustration

The Masters in Illustration is designed to create accomplished visual thinkers whose practice is shaped by current dialogue and innovative thinking in this exciting and progressive discipline. Through the course, students will be given the opportunity to explore areas of illustration such as children’s books, graphic novels, editorial illustration, illustration for branding and experimental illustration. Whichever route they decide to take with their Masters project, students will be encouraged to take creative risks by pushing their work in new and exciting directions.

In this studio-based illustrative masterclass series, delivered by a team of internationally recognised illustrators and academics, students will engage in hands-on, practical experiences including workshops in areas such as Sequence in Children's Books, Graphic Novels, Illustrative Ceramics, Watercolour for illustrators, Undigital digital Image, Cinema 4D and Adobe After Effects. Complimentary to this is Nottingham Trent University's unique Professional Futures module and Advancing Research Design module, which are designed to help focus and enhance their future career ambitions, whether those are commercial, experimental, or academic. Students will leave Nottingham Trent University confident and equipped to succeed in their chosen visual field, whether industry or academia.
