2. Course description Do you have a passion for photography? Would you like to learn more about photography techniques and the photographic industry? If you could see yourself working for Vogue on fashion styling projects, photographing designer goods in far off places for high-end advertising campaigns, or capturing hard to reach wild animals for National Geographic magazine then this Level 3 Diploma & Extended Diploma is the course for you. You'll cover an incredible range of genres on our dynamic photography course, including portrait, fashion, landscape, documentary, still life and experimental image making. You'll learn the differences between location and studio photography, and how to effectively organise photo shoots. From start to finish, you'll develop creative concepts and research plans, before taking the photos and then focusing on editing and specialist darkroom and advanced digital techniques in processing & printing. A big part of the course will be getting out into the real world, and you'll spend a large amount of time taking part in live briefs, helping you to develop experience in working environments. You'll also have the chance to get involved with the 'Greater Mancunians' project, photographing the people who have culturally shaped the city. As with nearly all of our creative qualifications this diploma and extended diploma is awarded by University of the Arts London Awarding Body - the only specialist creative arts awarding body in the UK.

You can also progress from the Level 2 Diploma in Art & Design with a merit grade profile. Adult learners may also gain entry to the course without these qualifications, providing they can demonstrate an ability to cope with the demands of study based on their previous experience, commitment, interest and ability. We'll assess these when you come for an interview with us. Due to Government changes to grading systems for GCSES in 16/17, please follow the below link to see specific entry criteria for school leavers School Leaver Entry Requirements 4. Equipment required No equipment required 5. Assessment method During the early stages of the course, you'll complete a series of projects, with each receiving feedback to help you improve your skills and expertise. Your final grade will then be assessed via a final major project at the end of the year. As part of the continuous assessment, you'll be expected to study outside of designated art and design studio sessions, attend exhibitions and galleries and do further contextual reading, all of which requires an additional commitment outside of normal course hours.
