Whether you're new to photography, looking for a career change or want a job in the contemporary photographic field - our degree will encourage your holistic and informed thinking about photography. You'll experience cultural, historical and contemporary life through the lens of a camera while evolving your own artistic way of seeing the world as a professional photographer. **Your Career with a Photography Degree** A degree in Photography can open up a fantastic range of career options. Freelance or in a permanent position, studio-based or on the move, the skills you learn will help you no matter what route you decide to take. Our former students have gone on to become assistant photographers, picture editors and researchers, forensic and medical photographers, gallery curators and more. For many of our students, their career path begins even before graduation through commissions and success during their studies. Amy Trantum and Andy Whysall were both awarded the Institute of the Arts Highest Achieving Student of the Year award in the last few years, and Liam Collins won the first Young Cumbrian Artist of the Year in his second year. The shortlist of ten for this prize was exclusively made up of our photography students, so you can be sure of creating well-acclaimed photographs during this course. Two of our graduates Gillian Gilbert and Anna Bridges have gone on to develop the Carlisle Photo Festival and have gained national and international recognition. Other graduates include Will Wintercross who is an acclaimed photojournalist and has worked extensively in Syria, Drew Gibson has made his mark in automotive sports photography and Caroline Leeming is a very successful fashion photographer working for clients such as Saatchi & Saatchi and Fenwick. **Year 1** - You'll develop your photography and technical skills working with our state-of-the-art digital equipment and darkroom. We'll put you in control, but guide you to enhance your ideas and explore the avenues of expression. **Year 2** - You'll continue to hone your practice with traditional and cutting-edge skills and develop your individual style with an emphasis on getting your work out there through publications and exhibitions. Employability, experience and industry skills run through this stage of your degree. **Year 3** - You'll organise and create work for your own exhibition. As part of this we support you in developing your professional and entrepreneurial abilities to give you not only skills within the photographic field, but the knowledge and confidence to progress into your chosen career.
