... Edinburgh Napier University

Course Overview

The BA (Hons) Photography is industry-facing and provides the professional, technical, contextual, and creative skills necessary for a career as a photographer.

You'll be encouraged to think critically and creatively, developing your skills to convey your ideas through practice.

As you progress, you'll increasingly define your area of study. Then, by identifying and working to your strengths, you'll develop an individual creative practice so that by graduation, you'll be capable of high creative output.

The course has recently moved to a newly-built specialist photography facility, which includes five fully-equipped photography studios, a black and white darkroom, dry to dry color film processor, high-end professional digital scanners and printers, portable photography lighting, and an extensive range of analog and digital cameras and camera equipment.
