The course has been designed in consultation with industry partners and Nottingham Trent University, our chief validating university.** **About the course** As an aspiring professional photographer, by choosing this course you’ll gain a wider understanding of your medium and we’ll prepare you for the demands of a rapidly changing and exciting industry. We’ll focus on helping you develop a creative approach to image-making, excellent technical skills and practices plus the skills and knowledge to pursue commercial practice after you graduate. The course currently has its own commercial arm in the form of a student-run agency. As part of the team you’ll get the chance to work in real industry situations under the guidance of experienced professionals. Our staff have strong links with industry and a wide range of professional photographers take part in the established guest lecture programme.

The course culminates in a final project that will allow you to concentrate on your preferred specialist area and present your work in a public exhibition. **Assessment** There are no examinations. Assessment is continuous throughout the course. Work is organised into practical and written projects. These are then graded and students receive written and verbal feedback.
