Course Overview

Our MA Photography will support you in advancing your photographic practice. Throughout this course you will be guided on strategies to support you in developing substantive professional outputs.

You will be encouraged to develop (or further develop) your approach to the business of photography including exploring alternative ways to engage with existing and emerging modes of dissemination and presentation.

You will engage in creative approaches to professional networking, the sourcing of and engagement with audiences, and building and sustaining a client base to ensure you have the analytical skills to progress your interests and professional goals.

Working in the dynamic environment of the School of Arts, Media and Creative Technology, you will be able to build collaborative and supportive networks to test your ideas. We will provide you with the resources to realise those ideas and guidance to re-evaluate your existing work within the changing contemporary contexts of the photographic image.

This course provides opportunities for you to identify ways to become exemplary within your field.
