Course overview

Be inspired by a stunning world of visual language and image-making, join a vibrant creative community, and experience a wide range of photographic approaches to produce an impressive portfolio of work.

We will empower you to develop your own photographic voice. Understanding your creative practice and where you fit in industry is essential to identify opportunities for success.

Photographers are increasingly employed across genres, from fine art and documentary to fashion and commercial work. This is an outward-looking course designed to maximise your employability or freelance success on graduation.

You will critically consider every aspect of this art form on the course, from composing images through to post-production and their target audiences. You will work in industry-standard facilities using sophisticated lighting and camera equipment. Besides learning extensive technical skills, you will also benefit from enterprise and business skills including networking, mentoring, and work experience opportunities.
