children's book illustration MA


Prior to starting at Abertay University my thoughts were that my life as a student would finish after my 4th year. During my time at Abertay I have concerned myself more with what progress I feel I have made each term and year rather than the grades I have received. However my grades for last year went very well and as long as I keep them up or hopefully even improve on them then I could get a good honours result. This has lead me to inquire into going even further with the possibility of studying a Masters. 
The Anglia Ruskin University offers the only MA specifically for children's book illustration in the UK. This course interests me not only for the Masters qualification but more so for what the course offers. The possibility of work experience within a publishing house, attending and showing work at various book fairs and probably most importantly the contacts I could possibly meet as this course is recognised and highly regarded by publishers of children books.
In order to see if this is a path I want to take then I feel it is important to go and find out as much information as possible about the course. The Anglia Ruskin has an open day on the 3rd October which I have booked a ticket for, the fact that I had to book a ticket for an open day tells me that not only will it be busy but that there must be a great deal of competition for spaces on courses. Below are brief descriptions of the course and the entry requirements for the MA.
