With access to cutting-edge facilities, you’ll work in professional studios, explore exciting locations, mastering industry-standard equipment. You will access analogue darkroom techniques, advanced digital workflows, post-production, short film and video methods, building a unique vision and style. The programme also offers opportunities to exhibit your work, produce publications, engage in commercial and live projects and international travel.

Photography has the power to shape perspectives and inspire change, and this programme provides the tools and opportunities to make your mark in a dynamic and evolving industry.

This creative-industry-focused programme typically provides 16 hours of contact time per week across the academic year. Students can typically expect to receive 10 hours of taught sessions and 6 hours of supervised open studio time, supported by specialist technicians, and have open access to studios and workshops (subject to School opening times and availability). In the final year, students typically engage in a higher proportion of supervised, independent study, reflecting the increased focus on self‑directed practice and specialist project work at this level.
