What the college says

The course is both practical and theoretical. Students take, process, print and mount work to a very high standard. Written work covers historical, contextual and technical issues. Photography has a unique cross-curriculum potential because of its nature and uses; chemistry, physics, mathematics, history, English and geography can all be explored through photography in a meaningful way. Our students select their own themes for their course work and tailor the work to suit their interests.
