Course Numbers See A Boost Into Interesting New Areas At New College Swindon University Centre As The First ‘Comics-Focused’ Degree-Level Course In The South West Is Launched

The new Illustration for Comics BA (Hons) offers aspiring comic illustrators who want to become a part of the vibrant comics community the chance to craft storytelling skills in a supportive and collaborative environment. This course based at the North Star campus, in an inspiring studio, is one of the only comics-focused degree-level courses in the South West. Lecturer, Richard Starzecki said, “Students will develop a unique visual style and personal brand, learning from professionals in the industry who are as passionate as the students are and have links with lots of employers.” This new course hopes to drive growth and strengthen the creative industries in Swindon and Wiltshire.

After obtaining university centre status, the New College Swindon University Centre has seen impressive growth, gaining a TEF Silver award for quality and exceptional National Student Survey results. In addition to the Comic BA (Hons), New College Swindon University Centre has also launched two new courses for creative students, one in collaboration with the Swindon and Wiltshire Institute of Technology.

The new Fine Art HND is perfect for those who want to focus on drawing, painting and print. Students will find who they are creatively, taught by expert tutors. New College Swindon’s North Star campus is part of a rich history of the School of Art, founded over 100 years ago. Students who enrol in the course have access to a professional print room, ceramics room, and darkroom. There’s no better place for enthusiastic creatives to start their career!
