MA Visual Communication: Illustration & Animation is a broad-based interdisciplinary studio programme that offers you the freedom to cultivate your own visual language, developing confidence in storytelling, worldbuilding and character design, alongside the conceptual awareness and technical skills that underpin ambitions within the expanding fields of illustration and animation. Based in our central Cambridge studios, over the intensive 12-month programme you will develop a strong grounding in research and enquiry as you advance your specialist knowledge within an interdisciplinary environment. You will be encouraged to experiment with new techniques, media and technologies, responding to applications, platforms and spaces in which contemporary illustration and animation are produced and experienced today. Complex times require new stories, and this course will help you to develop the skills and perspectives with which to tell them.
