Photography
Offered through the graphic design department, this course is for students in any major who want substantial experience in photography. Students explore the histories, traditions and techniques of photography and video, while being introduced to various cameras, development methods and more.
The MA course in photography has particular strengths in supporting work in the following areas:
- Contemporary and critically informed art photography
- Practical and theoretical engagement with photographic archives
- Investigations into the body in representation
- Critical engagements with the histories of photography
- The relation of photography to social memory
- Landscape narrative and photography
Practice-based projects may involve both chemical and digital approaches, whether in the studio or on location.
We welcome applications to MA Photography from various backgrounds – many of our students have degrees from subjects other than photography. Any enquires please contact us – 01252 89 2914 or email jriddalls@ucreative.ac.uk
