**Arts University Plymouth is an arts university for the 21st century, preparing students who are uniquely placed to provide creative solutions to the complex global challenges of a changing world.** Formerly known as Plymouth College of Art, we were granted full university title in Spring 2022. We are now the city of Plymouth’s first and only specialist arts university, allowing us to offer our students a dynamic and unique learning experience.<br/><br/>In May 2022 we were awarded the **Best Small or Specialist University** at the 2022 WhatUni Student Choice Awards coming top in a list of well-respected specialist UK universities, and in 2023 were awarded Silver in the same category, based on unbiased and honest reviews from students across the UK, in a category that highlights the quality of our provision as a specialist creative university.<br/><br/>The MA Illustration programme encourages the development of an independent, distinctive illustrative practice, through engaging with contemporary approaches, contexts, audiences and debates. While the field of contemporary illustration is rapidly expanding, becoming more fluid, autonomous and interdisciplinary in nature, the role of the illustrator provokes many new possibilities for the practitioner and discipline as a whole. As well as the illustrator’s traditional collaborations with the design community, creative directors and publishers, we encourage independent publishing, gallery-based ventures, academic research and self-directed alliances such as the formation of collectives.<br/><br/>You will have the opportunity to critically engage with current discourse within the subject area, relevant institutional contexts and partners and be encouraged to consider what it means to be an artist in the 21st century. This programme will help you to become a reflective and reflexive practitioner who can demonstrate an ability to think with more depth and criticality, to operate within, and respond to, the evolving landscape of contemporary design.<br/><br/>Awareness of contemporary global practices is a starting point for rigorous investigation and debate, enriching your understanding of both the potential and relevance of the discipline as a whole, as well as your own social responsibilities as an image-maker and designer.
