Course Content

From the outset we will develop your technical skills and teach you to understand what it is to be a professional photographer. We’ll introduce you to wider thematic questions so you’re better equipped to think as an informed image-maker. As the course progresses we invite the international photography community into our classroom, enabling you to engage directly with the industry from our safely-mentored environment.

In the final year you’ll have the knowledge, confidence and expertise to be publishing your own work on an international platform and leveraging those forces that are changing the face of the photographic world.

Your course will be based on a series of practical workshops and lectures, with associated seminars and small group skills sessions. In addition, your personal tutor, who will be a member of the photography team, will review and discuss your progress with you and will be available for advice.
