Course Overview

We are looking for a new generation of photographers who understand how photography shapes the world and want to know how to push the boundaries, explore new processes, and use their knowledge to work for change.

We will support you to gain advanced skills in photographic production while developing a sophisticated understanding of the historical and contemporary uses of photography.

As part of the unique Art and Design subject area, you will have opportunities to collaborate on interdisciplinary projects, preparing you to engage in a competitive job market equipped with skills for the fourth industrial age (4iR).

You will develop a professional photography portfolio reflecting both your specific interests and your career aspirations whilst gaining confidence in a wide range of creative practices from medium/large format cameras, self-publishing, audio, and moving image production to e.g. 3D fabrication. You will also have access to one of the largest darkrooms in London to explore analog photography.
