Berlin School of Business and Innovation- BA (Hons) Illustration

Berlin School of Business and Innovation (BSBI) is dedicated to training students to effectively shape the future and become tomorrow’s leaders. In partnership with world-leading universities International Telematic University UNINETTUNO, Concordia University Chicago (CUC) and University for the Creative Arts (UCA), BSBI offers undergraduate, postgraduate and doctorate programmes which are competitively priced to meet the needs of the international market.

We offer a wide range of programmes from marketing, IT and finance, to hospitality, creative arts and much more. BSBI has a well-equipped main campus in the heart of Berlin, along with campuses in Hamburg, Paris and Athens for students to choose from.

This degree programme provides an engaging and practical approach to illustration. This means that students are encouraged to develop their own unique approach to the subject, through gaining the skills they need to thrive in their future careers.

BSBI’s broad approach in teaching methods within this course includes not only a special focus on narrative and drawing practice but also critical analysis, workshops and collaborative live projects. Through this course analytical and technical skills are developed.

The final project is evidence of the ability to combine newly acquired skills with a dynamic and inventive visual storytelling.
