Throughout your three years with us, you’ll be part of a lively and active community, supported by state-of-the-art studios and high levels of access to specialist processes and technician support, including printmaking, bookmaking, letterpress, moving image, 3D, photography and darkroom processes and industry standard software. You’ll develop your visual, oral and written communication skills, whilst engaging with technology and processes relevant to contemporary illustration and animation practice. We’ll encourage you to communicate your ideas using traditional and emerging media, and you’ll learn how to construct narrative and meaning in a variety of contexts. The course benefits from close links with UCA Canterbury’s Graphic Design: Visual Communications degree, giving you the chance to work collaboratively and extend your learning with particular emphasis on the relationship between text and image.
