What the college says

Photography is an exciting and creative course where students will learn to develop the skills to make conceptually challenging and ambitious photographic images. Both traditional and digital methods of capture will be explored alongside studio and location work. Students will consider the work of European and non-European contemporary and traditional photographers or artists to gain inspiration and ideas for their own work. Trips are held throughout the year to London galleries to see high quality work first-hand. The course is designed to offer a wide range of experiences that inspire and generate sophisticated portfolios suitable for the most demanding university courses.
