Foundation Degree (FdA) Photography

Delivery:

The course is delivered through a blend of the following:

• Seminars
• Critiques
• Tutorials
• Visiting speakers and lecturers
• Visits to national and international exhibitions

You will work in purpose-built facilities, supervised by highly qualified tutors, many of whom are practitioners.

Throughout the course, your Personal Tutor will review your progress, help plan future assignment choices and discuss your portfolio development.

Assessment:

Assessment is 100% coursework, including practical portfolio work and written assignments. You will also have the opportunity to exhibit your work to the public at the end of the course as part of the assessment process.

All modules are assessed during their delivery, with Personal Tutors and other staff providing regular feedback. For the studio modules, you will present your finished work to the appropriate staff. After the assessment of each module, staff will meet to discuss your progress and implement any support you require. Normally there will also be a group critique at the end of each assignment.

The course enables you to engage in the assessment process by providing evidence of what you have learned, and by tracking, recording and measuring your own development. Your self-assessment is accumulated in a personal file and helps to demonstrate your achievements. You will also build up an assessment profile based upon studio work, workshop tasks, reports, group tasks and presentations.
