The Archaeological Illustration course, taught at Swindon College, produces graduates who are able to enter the profession as specialist practitioners and/or researchers. At present, only Swindon College’s School of Art, in partnership with Oxford Brookes University, offers teaching at master’s level in this area of visual practice. In Swindon we are ideally placed with the National Monuments Record and English Heritage both located in the town and co-operating with the curriculum. The course was developed in collaboration with the Association of Archaeological Illustrators and Surveyors (AAI&S), and provides a master’s level qualification respected by the industry. It develops visual, creative and technical skills in the context of strong academic research.
Successful applicants will normally have a good honours degree (or equivalent) in archaeology or relevant related discipline, or an art or design subject. Applicants with alternative qualifications and those without formal academic qualifications might also be considered, providing they can supply evidence of relevant experience and a level of work appropriate to the academic demands of the programme. Candidates will be selected after presentation of a portfolio at interview, and admissions tutors will base their selection on the candidate’s ability to benefit from the course.
