UWE Bristol's MA Fine Art: Photography builds on our celebrated reputation for postgraduate study in photography. Designed to develop your creative promise, this course is ideal if you want to push the potential of your own fine art photography practice.

Why study this course?

You will study our innovative curriculum alongside a purposefully small group of peers, uniquely designed to offer critical, collaborative and personal approaches to photography in contemporary cultural contexts. A combined focus on personal work, professional practice, and critical research will maximise your creative outputs, and contextualise photography as an artistic discipline.

You will gain knowledge and insights into contemporary arts practice and debates, taught by a diverse team of award-winning photographers and leading academics in the field.

Where can it take me?

You will graduate with a globally recognised qualification and have a broad range of options available to you regionally, as well as nationally and internationally. The course offers you the opportunity to develop your photography practice, and many of our graduates have continued into award-winning careers in the field. Others pursue a career in galleries and museums, in film, education, or the wider creative industries. You may also wish to consider a PhD pathway within one of our excellent research centres.
