Do you want to turn your passion for photography into your career? Our Photography degree will develop your visual, analytical, technical and creative abilities through photographic practice.
You will investigate, research and engage with a range of photographic areas to gain knowledge, understanding and skills within the field of photography.
The degree offers opportunities to work across analogue, digital and hybrid photographic practices, both in the studio and on location. You will investigate through visual and theoretical research and develop an understanding of critical engagement within photography.
The emphasis of our Photography degree is based around your creative development and ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
You will study the key legal and ethical aspects of photography, applying these to your professional and photographic practice.
We have fully equipped on-campus studios and darkroom facilities and offer all students free-of-charge loan of professional photography equipment and resources as well as access to our Mac computer suite, so you’ll have all you need to continue to develop your photography skills and experience.
