BA Photography

This programme prepares you for a career in photography by encouraging you to develop a personal and contextualised vision of the world, and by developing your knowledge of equipment and technical facilities. You will develop a broad visual vocabulary and explore a range of fine art and commercial practices, using traditional photographic equipment and processes as well as the latest computer technology. Our programme promotes high levels of creative thinking allied to advanced technical skills, underpinned by wide-ranging research and academic rigour. Historical and contemporary contexts play a vital role toward the production of your work, which reflects photography's pivotal contribution to the vitality of today's visual culture. You are encouraged to engage with the medium of photography in its widest sense, to foster the expression of 'ways of seeing', which enables students to evolve into versatile creative practitioners.
