Alongside regular University exhibitions of your on-going work, which will be open to the public, you’ll be encouraged to exhibit your own work through the local arts groups we work with, including Alternative Arts, Photomonth Festival, Four Corners Film and Photography, London Independent Photographers and the Uncertain States group. You’ll also have access and the chance to contribute to the East End Photography Archive at our School of Art, Architecture and Design. **What our students say** "This is an enjoyable and rewarding course which provides an exciting engagement with current photography practice.
