Management Studies degrees in Northern England

I started the BA Photography course in 2018 and finished in 2022. I found the modules interesting, and we had a good mix of arts and more commercially orientated guest speakers. The tutors were incredibly helpful and supportive and did their best to provide engaging sessions despite the disruption of covid19 during my studies there. Resources are good with plenty of studio space, a big Mac-based editing room, and a massive dark room (B@W plus colour possible). Technical support is excellent too. Certainly worth considering for an undergraduate-level photography degree.

Amazing teachers can't fault them in providing really great workshops and support. However, the admin side of things is awful the uni seem quite incompetent in this area considering they are providers of law courses it is particularly a bad look. In the exams this January alone there were 2 mistakes in the SBAQ which they noticed us about after receiving results. There was difficulty in accessing the online exam as they had not properly sorted the tech side of one assessment module. Lastly, throughout the entire year there have been many many emails from the uni correcting errors in the course content wise. It makes you feel that you are dealing with a corporate body with no knowledge of running a university and ensuring proper checks are in place.

So far my experience has been challenging, learning again after years away from education, yet it has been so fulfilling, the photography department is a wonderful hub of activity, students from all The three years cross paths within the week, and are respectful and helpful to each other. We have a fantastic team of tutors who without doubt go above and beyond for all the students. For anybody considering Blackburn college to study the photography course, then I would definitely recommend it. I feel very much a part of my department and I am looking forward to my third year next year.
