BA (Hons) Comics and Graphic Novels

Course Overview

Mastering communication through words and pictures is at the heart of this course. We aim to produce a new breed of storytellers, each with their individual, formidable voice. You emerge as experts at communicating through cartooning, understanding how the medium works from the technical aspects of perspective, composition and figure drawing to the founding theories of modern literature.

Comics are also entering into more mainstream areas of advertising, marketing and public relations - anywhere where a message needs to be communicated in as unforgettable and universal a manner as possible.
