BA (Hons) Illustration work

Students on our BA (Hons) Illustration course develop their own visual language through discussion, critiques, tutorials, set briefs, and self-managed learning.

Our past students have found success in many different creative industries, with employers and commissioners including Sky TV, Oxford University Press, Hallmark cards, Tigerprint and Tesco.

You can also see work by recent graduating students on our Creative Showcase.

In 2020, some of our students also created Covid 19 awareness posters as part of their coursework - see a sample gallery and download the finished posters.
