    Children's Book Illustration, MA

    About

    Children's book publishing is a fascinating and varied market. It is continuously evolving in response to changes in society and our environment. The formats available to illustrators are also changing. You'll be able to explore these different forms on our MA Children's Book Illustration course.

    The emphasis of this course is children's picture and story books, but you can also look at different formats. This could include graphic novels, comic books, non-fiction books or a brand new format. At postgraduate level, you need to think originally when it comes to your chosen area of children's book illustration and design.

    Although our MA Children's Book Illustration is primarily a visual course, author control over content is also important. That means the ability to fuse written and visual content is important in the practice of children’s book illustration. We'll help you to develop these skills.

    Future careers

    MA Children’s Book Illustration graduates could enjoy a career as an author/illustrator for children’s books. You could also work as a book designer or in the publishing industry.

    Most children’s illustrators work as freelancers for UK and International publishing houses. Lots of children's illustrators also develop their own books.

    Some specialise purely in children’s work, whilst others work as character and toy designers, animators or general illustrators in the design, advertising or publishing industry.

    Our students’ work have received awards by Pan Macmillan and Hachette, and our alumni have gone on to be published by Bloomsbury, Little Tiger Press, Orion, Pan Macmillan, Chronicle, Frances Lincoln and more.
