BA (Hons) Illustration

You gain skills in drawing, printmaking, 3D analogue, 3D digital, digital painting, motion and augmented reality, integrated with experimental and practical learning, creative thinking, career development and employability, pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a contemporary image maker.

You study at our School of Arts & Creative Industries, led by Teesside University and MIMA (Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art), an international contemporary museum and gallery. You benefit from our strong links with the industry, hearing from world-leading illustrators and working on live client briefs.

Learning from accomplished practising illustrators, we develop you as talented creators and prepare you for work in the industry as a freelancer, in an agency or the wider creative sector.
