The Foundation Degree in Digital Imaging and Photography has been designed to provide specialist skills using photographic and digital imaging (including moving image) processes and technology relevant to contemporary creative and commercial practice. The aims of the programme are to: • Equip students with the skills, knowledge and understanding for versatility and confidence, relevant to the needs of clients and employment in the photography / digital imaging sector. • Provide students with an effective balance between education and training by promoting self-development and creative expression, intellectual enquiry and the visual communication of ideas underpinned by the acquisition of transferable, technical and practical skills and knowledge. • Give students a progression route to advance, where appropriate, towards other qualifications, for example the one year BA (Hons) Top up in Digital Imaging and Photography, or future employment within photography and digital imaging industry. You will develop your photographic skills, together with knowledge and understanding, through practical projects based on professional practice. Students will have full access to well-equipped studio spaces and both digital and traditional photographic facilities, including Adobe software, large format digital printing and traditional darkroom. Techniques of traditional and digital photography will be explored, within practical work related projects and with opportunities to create industry links.
