Overview

Unlock your potential with the MA Photography course! Create ambitious, professional-level work that combines artistic expression with commercial impact. With hands-on workshops, cutting-edge facilities, and guidance from award-winning staff, you'll fast-track your career. Plus, get exclusive introductions to top photographers and industry leaders, agents, and curators.

Course information

The course allows you to undertake advanced study in a wide range of areas including advertising, documentary, editorial, fashion, portrait and fine art photography.

By a combined approach of practice, theory and professionalism, the course will provide a challenging and stimulating environment in which you're able to develop to your full potential, with the aim of becoming a practitioner at the forefront of the profession.

You're encouraged to make industrial links across a broad range of organisations relevant to your chosen professional specialism. Using these links, you'll learn to manage and exceed client expectations through the application of your new academic understanding to the production of inventive saleable work.

Whilst studying on the course you have the option to add a ‘Named Award to your degree title from the list below. The specialisation doesn't need to be decided before you start the course, as the selection is made during the first unit. Choosing a 'Named Award' is entirely optional, and if you decide not to select one, the qualification will be titled MA Photography without any additional description.

  • MA Photography (Fine Art)
  • MA Photography (Commercial and Advertising)
  • MA Photography (Fashion)
