Master of Arts [M.A] [Design (Illustration)] From Sheffield Hallam University

Your projects are supported by lecturers who are design specialists, researchers and practitioners.

As a Postgraduate Design student you join an established network of creative people that encourage and support you to drive your studies to the next level. The Postgraduate framework of design courses has been specially designed to allow students from different disciplines, backgrounds and cultures to come together, share teaching and learning experiences and explore their creative identities through dialogue and practice. Your studies will be project-led and developed through researching, designing, producing and communicating through presentations and exhibitions of your work.

Develop your existing knowledge and experience as a designer, exploiting our significant research expertise to enhance your own design and research skills to a new level.

We place emphasis on personal research, giving you the chance to develop your own interests and ideas in a challenging and supportive environment. Our aim is to help you to become a creative, imaginative and versatile designer who can operate independently or as a member of a design team.

You can work alongside our in-house design consultancy, Design Futures, and with researchers from other design areas. We also have contacts with leading design agencies and design organisations and encourage you to work collaboratively with them.

You attend residential study trips at home and abroad, complemented by opportunities to visit design conferences and debates.
