Course Details

The BTEC Level 3 Award in Photography is a specialist programme of study that allows students to focus on a chosen area and is designed to be work-related. Students will develop a specific set of practical skills, exploring techniques, equipment and materials as well as undertaking research into the work of photographers. The course is made up of two specialist units, both units are digitally based and some work may be developed using Photoshop. Understanding and use of visual language, written critical analysis and evaluation is an import element of coursework and the programme. Access to professionally equipped studios will support delivery of this qualification. Both units will be assessed and individually graded as 'pass', 'merit' or 'distinction. A pass in both units is necessary to achieve the Level 3 Award.
