I have had a look at other possible things to go into, animation, graphic designing and a few other possible career choices, however they all seem to somehow link up with illustration, therefore I concluded it would be the best course of action to choose illustration in university, to improve myself and hopefully with the things I learn finally decide what I should go for.
University of Huddersfield

Is a 3 year course on full time, or a 4 year sandwich course, a sandwich is basically when you have a work placement between your studies.
The course allows students to independently develop as image makers, by showing how to fully appreciate contemporary art and by researching different techniques and media.
The first year will be dedicated to experimentation, using and finding out about different media's and concepts, which will help me develop and find out what my own strengths are. The second year will be about expanding my current skills, while considering my professional for my work, with opportunity's for projects outside of university life, nationally or internationally.
The final year is mainly about producing a professional standard portfolio.
To be considered for this course I would need;
- DMM – DDM BTEC National (which I am currently working towards in my college course
- Pass in Diploma Foundation studies in Art and Design combined with A Level or BTEC National points to an equivalent of 300 points
- Pass or above in GSCE Maths and English
- High quality portfolio
- Great interview

I am also interested in looking into the university of Plymouth who say that studying with them will help me in creating original images as they do not have just one style. Students must regularly attend lessons and are free to do whatever within their own studio space and with their growing reputation it isn't a surprise if their standards would be hard.
Taking part in this university will open the doorways to these careers;
Art director
Animator, storyboard artist and digital illustrator
Graphic/editorial designer
Toy and character designer
Comic book or graphic novelist
Printmaker and small press publisher
Zinester
The course is one year for full time and its cost is around 5,100
this course is post graduate which means if I choose to I would go onto this course after going to university.
