The Photography Department at Edinburgh College of Art has a strong international reputation, with students achieving at the very highest level. Recent major awards won by students include the John Kobal Prize, The Jerwood Prize, Fuji Student Photographer of the Year, the Audi Award for Contemporary Photography and the ICI/Olmec Student Digital Photographer of the Year.

The MA and MFA programmes provide graduates of photography, or graduates from another discipline with some demonstrable skill in photography, to use the medium to examine and explore a theme of their own choosing and to produce a resolved body of practical work allied to rigorous research and professional practice.

At Edinburgh College of Art, photography is viewed as a means to an end, rather than an end in itself. It is a path to self-expression through the production of considered and resolved work. The range of practice within the Department is as wide as we can make it and includes advanced level documentary, landscape, portraiture, constructed imagery, installation and video.

These programmes are primarily designed as a means of developing and extending creative practice and are intellectually and critically underpinned by theoretical study. Students who wish to concentrate on theory will find the programmes offered by the Centre for Visual & Cultural Studies more appropriate; Contemporary Art Theory, Visual Culture and Visual and Material Culture.
