Location of University of Dundee
This programme gives students the opportunity to study comics at postgraduate level, something which is still very much under-represented in UK Higher Education institutions, and indeed, internationally. It grows out of the expertise of the course leader, who researches comics, organises major comics conferences, and co-edits one of the few peer-reviewed journals in this field. Dundee is also the home of British comics, with the major comics publisher, DC Thomson, being based in the city.
This course offers good employment opportunities for anyone interested in working in the field of comics, either creatively or in the industry from a production point of view. It will include workshops with industry professionals and the possibility of placements with DC Thomson. The programme will also be of great benefit to anyone interested in a job in the popular media and publishing.
