About this course
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 wide 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 studio and on location. You will investigate through visual 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.
