The illustration profession is, by its nature, an enterprising subject to study. You only have to look at the way professional illustrators are constantly finding new business models and driving careers that they control into new territories to see exactly how we approach teaching illustration. We are always looking for opportunities for you to work to a professional level through placements, live briefs and direct contact with the dynamic world that you could become a part of.
