BA(Hons) Illustration encourages students to create and develop their own personal visual language. Problem-solving through drawing and making is core. Students will be based at Bower Ashton Studios, part of the City Campus. Exceptional facilities and resources include industry-standard digital media studios and production and fabrication workshops.
Students will explore a range of media and deepen their awareness of the ideas, concepts and contexts of illustration through theoretical studies. Build an awareness of the professional world and develop core skills through individual experimentation.
Innovation and individualism are celebrated. Students investigate potential contexts and audiences for their work and test themselves against industry expectations through live briefs, and national and international competitions.
UWE's strong industry links with the thriving city of Bristol ensure input from illustrators and creatives. Visits from respected practitioners will keep students up to date with contemporary illustration practice. Showcase their work to talent scouts and potential employers at the final year Creative Industries Degree Show and D&AD New Blood, London.
Focusing on the avenues that interest students, they'll graduate with an impressive portfolio of work, ready to make their mark as an illustrator.
