Intro

The Illustration degree at Brighton enjoys a reputation for producing artists who are confident in using their own creative voice and who work in an extremely diverse range of styles.

This course celebrates both the traditional and the contemporary, exploring what illustration could be, not just what it is. We place an emphasis on experimentation, and our course team will help you to develop your own visual language.

You’ll benefit from dedicated studio space, excellent specialist art and design libraries and our internationally significant Design Archives. You will enjoy a programme of studio and gallery visits and an optional study trip. Opportunities to exhibit throughout the course, culminate in the final year graduate show.

Your teaching staff are leaders in their fields and past contributors have included Raymond Briggs, Quentin Blake, Emily Gravett, John Vernon Lord, George Hardie and Jasper Goodall.

You will work closely with students from our Graphic Design BA, and both courses foster an understanding of visual communication, intellectually and practically.

Course content

Year 1

Year 1 introduces you to the basic concepts of visual communication in illustration. Through a series of studio-based projects and workshops in observational and life drawing, photography and book arts, you will begin to develop your own visual language.

Modules

Introduction to Visual Communication: Orientation and Exploration

This module provides an introduction to the key concepts and practices of visual communication.

It's a dynamic and mobile subject that has been fundamental in shaping modern global culture and continues to profoundly influence the way we perceive, understand and navigate the world.

You will be introduced to the history, practices and techniques that inform visual communication, exploring experimentation, creativity and design approaches you will be asked to critically reflect on your practice through guided and independent study.
The Practice of Visual Communication: Investigation and Application

Visual communication is a diverse and constantly reformulating practice that uses a wide range of technical processes to engage with audiences. This module introduces you to a range of working methods, practices and techniques.

You will explore a range of technical skills and you will be encouraged to investigate new approaches, combine existing techniques and explore traditional methods to develop innovative outputs.
The Theories and Practice of Visual Communication: Media, Messages and Meaning in Illustration

In this module you will examine, define and apply concepts, practices and debates that inform visual communication.

You will explore the theoretical concepts and contemporary and historical approaches that have been used to communicate messages and meaning and apply these into practice by experimenting with media, contexts, techniques and processes. Through focused analysis you will critically reflect on the ongoing debate and reformulation of visual communication as a subject area.
Developing a Visual Language: Personal Project

In this module you will explore visual communication and your relationship to it by constructing a self-directed project.

Visual communication encourages diverse approaches to professional practice and the development of a personal visual language. As you begin to identify and locate your practice within a framework of critical debate and ethical considerations you will have the opportunity to experiment with concepts, define approaches and critically reflect on them with an analysis of contemporary practice.

Making sure that what you learn with us is relevant, up to date and what employers are looking for is our priority, so courses are reviewed and enhanced on an ongoing basis. When you have applied to us, you’ll be told about any new developments through Student View.

Student views

Emily Moore, 2019 graduate

The course has been a bit of a rollercoaster. It took me quite a long time to find a way of working that felt right to me – most of first and second year were spent experimenting and panicking; when I look back at my work from this time it feels like it was done by somebody else. The course really encouraged me to think outside the box with illustration – I started first year painting portraits and drawings caricatures thinking that was what I was supposed to be doing, but feel I only started to make my best work when I begun to let go and follow my instincts. It wasn’t until third year that I think I had a break through moment and begun to make moving image – I’ve discovered a whole new way of working that I am fascinated by, and feel very sad to be finishing the course at this stage.

Ziyoo Hwang, 2019 graduate

“It’s been amazing! If you look at my projects I did in my first year, they look completely different from what I’m making these days. The course helped me develop my personal visual language. Especially during my 3rd year, I went through a huge change, both as a normal human being and an illustrator who creates visual stuffs. Brighton itself is a city with so much influential and interesting stuff as well”

Connie Wright, 2019 graduate

“I have really enjoyed the course! Being in the same studio as graphic design has really influenced my work, giving me the opportunity to surround myself with designers, giving me confidence in my practice. The tutors have been really supportive of my work and pushed my development from a more abstract illustrator to a visual communicator.”

Dayna Murphy, 2018 graduate

“I particularly like the way that Illustration as a course is run, the structure allows a lot of freedom with the right amount of guidance. I have developed a lot as a visual communicator during my time in Brighton, being in such a creative city has been inspiring and I’m sad to be leaving it!”

Maya Doyle Leal, 2018 graduate

"I really loved being part of this course. The tutors and staff are now a part of my little “illustration family” and I couldn’t be more grateful for all of their support. They have been serious and tough but extremely motivating.

"Looking back, I see that it was so important to have the two first years to really explore and experiment with different processes and be playful in my work. I learnt how to work with other artists and had the time and opportunity to make mistakes and figure out what I do and don’t like in the practice. It was so helpful to have experienced that before entering my third year and really developing my own visual language and analysing my own work and subjects.

"One of the most important things that I learned during my time at Brighton was to be true to myself as an artist and to value my own opinions and interests."

How this course is delivered

How will my course be taught?
For the academic year that starts in September 2022 we’re planning for all students to be taught face-to-face on campus, enhanced by some online learning.

Students who started their course with us in 2021 are on campus for some face-to-face learning including tutorials, workshops, laboratory classes and studio sessions. They are also taking part in off-campus learning activities such as placements, field trips and study visits. And all of our campus facilities – libraries, learning spaces, restaurants, gyms and more are open.

Like all universities we are following government guidance and we are monitoring the pandemic very closely. Should Public Health advise it we have robust plans in place for additional safety measures to be introduced to enable everyone to continue learning on campus, and, as a last resort, for students to continue their learning remotely.

We will update you regularly on our teaching plans for the next academic year as you progress your application with us.

When does my course start?
The 2022 academic year begins on Monday 26 September 2022. Teaching for most courses starts the following week.

Many education courses, some health science courses including Medicine, and some postgraduate business courses have an earlier start date. Check your offer letter for the start date of your course.

Employment demand for arts graduates

The British Academy has compiled a report (May 2020) quantifying the demand for arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) skills in the workplace. It helps to answer the legitimate question of what the economic return is on undertaking a degree, both in time and money. 

According to the report:

As arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) graduates progress through the first ten years of their career they are able make strong progress up the career ladder into roles attracting higher salaries
Arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) graduates are employed in some of the fastest growing sectors including financial services, education, social work, the media and creative industries
Of the ten fastest growing sectors, eight employ more graduates from AHSS than other disciplines

This makes AHSS graduates at the heart of some of the most exciting, productive, largest and fastest-growing sectors of the UK economy.

Future skills demand

According to the report:

With the challenges the world is facing – climate change, global pandemics, the growth of populism – the UK needs the insights of the arts, humanities and social sciences (AHSS) as much as those from science, technology and engineering (STEM)
Evidence within the report shows that Arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) graduates are central to these challenges and changes – they will be vital in giving us the tools to examine and explain human behaviour, understand how society functions, learn from the past and apply those lessons to the present, and analyse the drivers and implications of a changing world and how different countries, places and cultures interact.

Fees

Course fees

UK (full-time) 9,250 GBP

International (full-time) 14,892 GBP

What's included

You may have to pay additional costs during your studies, although we have tried to keep this to a minimum. The cost of optional activities is not included in your tuition fee and you will need to meet this cost in addition to your fees. A summary of the costs that you may be expected to pay, and what is included in your fees, while studying a course in the School of Art and Media in the 2021–22 academic year are listed here.

Typically, practice-based courses incur more costs than text-based subjects.

For most courses you will need to budget for the cost of specialist materials, equipment, stationary and printing and are likely to spend between £50–£300 per year.
Course books and a wide range of magazines and journals are available in the university libraries. You do not need to have your own copies, but if you wish to, you should budget up to £200 over your course to buy them.
For some courses you may also need to budget up to £100 for specialist personal protective clothing which, with care, will last for the whole of your course and beyond.
Specialist equipment is provided to cover essential learning, and you will have access to computers and necessary software across the university, but students may choose to buy their own specialist equipment. These may include cameras, or computers and software. Budgets can range from £50–£2,000. Buying specialist equipment is best undertaken in consultation with our academic and technical staff. The amount spent will depend on your individual choices but this expenditure is not essential to pass any of our courses.
For some courses you will need to budget up to £200 for printing and publishing. Photography courses may incur higher costs (£500–£2,000) when printing and framing images of professional standard for public presentation.
Costs in your final year of study are very likely to be higher than in earlier years as you bring together your final body of work and portfolio, and you may need to budget between £200 and £1,000.
Final-year graduation shows are opportunities to present your final, independent project work to the public. Practice-based courses will typically incur higher costs. Depending on the specific nature of your final project you will need to budget between £20–£2,500. 
For most courses you will have the opportunity to attend field trips and off-site visits, for example to galleries, exhibitions and studios both in the UK and overseas. These are optional and are not required to pass your course. The nature of the costs vary from provisions for a packed-lunch to flight and accommodation costs for international field trips. The amount spent would be based on location and number of trips taken, and typically range between £30 and £700 across the duration of your course.
For courses which feature an optional placement year, you will need to budget for living costs (rent, food, travel etc) in that city/country, as if you were on site at the university.

You can chat with our enquiries team if you have a question or need more information. Or check our finance pages for advice about funding and scholarships as well as more information about fees and advice on international and island fee-paying status.

Info

The fees listed here are for full-time courses beginning in the academic year 2022–23.

Further tuition fees are payable for each subsequent year of study and are subject to an annual increase of no more than 5% or RPI (whichever is the greater). The annual increase for UK students, who are subject to regulated fees, will increase no more than the statutory maximum fee.

You can find out more about our fees in the university's student contract and tuition fee policy (pdf).

The tuition fee you have to pay depends on a number of factors including the kind of course you take, and whether you study full-time or part-time. If you are studying part-time you will normally be charged on a pro rata basis depending on the number of modules you take.
