Hi @marzonian,

I went to UAL London College of Communication and did Illustration and Visual Media for both my BA and MA. I loved it!! I felt there was a good balance of guidance and independence on the course. I loved utilising the many workshops (printing, letterpress and book arts). There are opportunities to work professionally, but they are not always exclusive to your course, so you have to make sure you're keeping up with the careers and employability page/email.

Let me know if you have any more questions!!
