What will I learn?

The MA in Childrens Book Illustration (with optional Professional Placement) is perfect for practicing professional illustrators, artists and designers wishing to develop new ideas and techniques aimed at the childrens market. This taught, studio course is also suitable for recent design graduates who wish to focus and refine their ideas at a more advanced level. Although primarily a visual course for artists and illustrators, authorial control over content is also hugely important in the children's book field, so the ability to write creatively and to fuse written and visual content is an important component in the practice of childrens book illustration. The emphasis of the course is on the practice of illustration for childrens picture books and story books. At postgraduate level you will be encouraged to pursue an original line of enquiry within your chosen area of childrens book illustration and design.
