What will I learn?

Find your visual voice and sharpen your skills in one intensive year.This one-year top-up is for aspiring illustrators who want to sharpen their identity, test their work in the real world, and graduate with a full honours degree. You’ll train in analogue and digital formats, with industry-standard kit, alongside animators, filmmakers, and fine artists.You'll produce an ambitious, self-directed major project, develop practice-led creative research, and prepare for professional life through portfolio reviews, live briefs, and career planning. You’ll be studio-based for the whole year, because we believe the best learning comes from doing. You'll be surrounded by fellow creatives on a single, contained campus with world-class workshops and the space to discover what your work is really about.
