Students on our MA Children’s Book Illustration course undertake their own book illustration projects, developing their visual vocabulary with support from our team of internationally-recognised illustrators, writers and publishers.
The first course of its kind in the UK, our graduates consistently achieve success as published illustrators and award winners.
