About Illustration, MA - at Kingston University London

Studying this Illustration MA at Kingston University will prepare you for a broad range of professional opportunities. Recent graduates have gone on to roles in publishing, curation, engagement, teaching and more. 

Through tutorials, field trips, lectures, seminars, workshops and research projects, you’ll gain technical tools, knowledge and confidence. You’ll share two modules with students from across the design school, explore diverse disciplinary settings and unpack the social and political aspects of illustration.

Every part of this course encourages creative experimentation and individual critical reflection. You’ll take a dialogic, discursive approach, with plenty of peer-led learning, discussion groups and opportunities to co-create the curriculum. You’ll embrace process as a way of creating meaning, and craft thoughtful and illuminating visual stories through a carefully curated programme.

During the course, you’ll examine discipline-specific ideas about rigour, innovation, positioning and inclusivity.

Through a blend of knowledge-building and debate, you’ll bring your unique perspective to examine existing illustrative practices. You’ll explore the challenges, ethics and impact of visual representation across global professional and public territories.

This course aligns with SHAPE, the British Academy’s collective name for the Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts.
