BA (Hons) Photography with Foundation Year

Course detail
Course overview
We offer a dynamic and exciting photography course, which will equip you with practical, theoretical and professional skills. The course is broad-based and, while focusing on contemporary photographic practice, offers opportunities for experimentation with related subject areas such as moving image and emerging digital technologies. Through cultural and theoretical studies you will gain the confidence to critically evaluate and effectively engage in contemporary photographic debates. Preparing you for employment is also one of our priorities, therefore work experience is embedded at all levels of the course.

If you are curious, motivated, committed, ambitious and, above all, have the desire to communicate visually through photographic practice, then this course is for you. Academics provide a supportive learning environment that will nurture students' photographic interests and ambitions. Our graduates are valued by the industry for their skills, knowledge and adaptability.

A strong team of established professional photographers, artists, curators and guest lecturers bring a wealth of experience to the course. London's galleries, art centres and museums also provide a wonderful resource to inspire photographic projects and stimulate debate.
