MA Photography - Full-Time

The course aims to develop the technical and critical-thinking skills that can prepare students for careers in a variety of creative industry sectors. Graduates have gone on to work as independent photographers, in arts organisations or on to careers in academia. Some choose to undertake study and research at doctoral level.

This course recognises that photography is no longer the exclusive preserve of photographers. Image making has become diffuse, it has crossed boundaries, it has been drawn into many diverse fields of employment. Accordingly, the value of the various skills and experience that you have the opportunity to develop throughout this MA may not be limited to work in the field of photography but could be valued within any number of employment sectors.

By encouraging you to embark upon and develop a socially-engaged practice, we hope to inspire you to develop new relationships with communities, organisations, and individuals.

First or upper second class honours degree in a media-related subject or equivalent experience in a related industry.

We welcome students from a multiplicity of backgrounds, meaning that these qualifications and professional experiences need not have been gained in the field of photography.
