Illustration, BA Hons PartTime
Illustration at Arts University Plymouth has been so much fun! The structure stays similar over the 3 years but you get progressively more independent, and manage tasks for in line with industry expectations. I wouldn't feel anywhere near as confident to start a career in illustration without it! read more

Illustration, BA Hons PartTime
In honesty, my first year here was miserable honestly and it was because of the tutors. I didn't like their learning style and I hated it when we put our work on the walls and as a class, vote for our favourite. That did not make me feel great about my future since I never won nor came close to winning. My second year, despite the pandemic has been a lot better because of the change of tutors. I feel a lot more comfortable in my working ablities and no more silly voting crap. The briefs given to us are challenging enough but I haven't learnt anything new since I've been on the course. read more
