This exciting new course will impart the skills necessary to meet the challenges posed by the latest developments within photographic technology. The course combines the practical and critical study of photography with a strong emphasis on new technologies and enterprise.

Technological advances and the changes in working practices have had an enormous impact on the face of the industry allowing the individual greater creativity.

The course will focus on the latest developments in digital imaging and also aims to develop the critical tools for thinking about the role of photography within contemporary media.

contribute to a ‘stock image’ digital library which promotes and sells the work of students. This course prepares you for your future career and provides a live professional environment from your very first day at university.

We will encourage you to explore this rapidly expanding industry and equip you with the entrepreneurial skills required to build your own successful photographic business.
