BA(Hons) Marine & Natural History Photography

... United Kingdom
... Falmouth University

Course Overview

The outdoors will be your studio; you’ll have fantastic locations on your doorstep and the opportunity to learn underwater photography. You’ll learn how to communicate scientific ideas and conservation stories through images and raise awareness of global issues, including habitat loss, climate change and plastic pollution. For your final major project, you can follow the lead of former students who’ve travelled the world and returned with powerful and thought-provoking stories. Throughout this Marine & Natural History Photography degree, you’ll be supported by staff who are global practitioners in photography, filmmaking, art and science.

You will:

  • Take part in regular local and UK-based field trips

  • Have the option to learn professional underwater photography

  • Take your skills to the industry through work placements, which form a vital part of the second year

  • Organise and complete a self-devised project in your third year, mirroring an industry brief, which could be based anywhere in the world

  • Build technical expertise using our cutting-edge photographic equipment, as well as studios, post-production suites and dark rooms
