Postgraduate Degree in Illustration accredited by the Universidad de Vic.

Students without university degrees will receive a University Extension Studies Diploma.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

In this postgraduate degree the intention is to understand the role of the illustrator as a communicator of information, as an artist, historian or graphic witness, who records what has happened, through an in-depth analysis of the different fields, uses and applications, of illustration that the market requires. The technical and conceptual aspects of illustration will be covered, and useful tools will be provided to assist the creative process, thus enabling the students to discover their own individual artistic and design language.
