So, what's the best UK Uni for Illustration? :o

[unreal]

Bah, being in the UK it's horrible, we're so spoilt for choice . But it seriously does make things confusing, but I've decided to chase the illustration boat for my future since I can't really paint or anything, I just draw.. and it has better career aspects than Fine Art in my opinion that would satisfy me.

I've checked The Times and The Guardian's top Art & Design university charts, and they're both totally different, except with Oxford on the top (and it's too late to apply there ) I've got enough UCAS points to go anywhere else, and I really don't mind studying anywhere within the UK. I just want to know where the best sorta places are for illustration . I heard some places like Loughborough and such are good, but I also heard specialist Art Universities are also good in particular aspects. Bah ;_;

I know this is a specific question so any help is cool. Also if anyone who studied any art related subject could breifly write their experience or if they recommend it something?

(Excuse me for any poor writing, I'm still up doing artwork lol)

I know Bath Spa (Sion Hill Campus) has an excellent art reputation, however I don't know if that includes illustration, but its one you could perhaps look into

Check Falmouth Collage Of Arts, there are people from all over the world that go there to study, I believe its' highly regarded world wide, although I don't know the score on Illustration in particular.

I had a big chat with one of my art tutors and apparently like you said Rhyth, Falmouth is good, along with some others like Bristol and some other place beginning with N I think lol.

Thanks for the help so far .

Cool, and if you come here I'll show you round, how about that

[Tobeman]

Virtually everyone I know that I went to school with that went on to do degree level art courses (foundation or otherwise) are currently at University of Hertfordshire.

Other benefit; you're 30mins down the road from me

You're just trying to lure me into Lolfordshire

Hertfordshire is actually very good for an Art degree. One of my good friends is current there doing Art and I hear nothing but praise from her.

Statistically though I've no idea how it fairs with the rest of the country for Art.
