MA Photography course provides a dynamic opportunity for you to test, push and extend the current boundaries of the photographic medium. You will explore photography through the medium’s rich critical and technological contexts and develop your creative practice in line with your individual interests and professional ambitions.
As a photography student you will be part of the School of Digital Arts (SODA), where you will study in an environment that is purpose-built for today’s fast-moving creative and digital sectors. It will offer boundary-breaking and cross-disciplinary learning opportunities that reflect modern project-based working practices. It offers the opportunity to collaborate with a dynamic creative community of sound designers, filmmakers, games developers and more. SODA is also home to staff from a wide range of disciplines, who are research active and experts in their chosen area, and who enjoy well-established links to the wider creative media, arts and digital tech industries.
In addition to established photographic technologies, you will also have access to a wide range of digital equipment and facilities, including photographic studios, sound studios, green screen spaces, moving image studios and immersive spaces and technologies.
During the programme you will develop professional links with the creative community and industries locally, nationally and internationally. For students and creative media professionals alike, SODA is well positioned within Manchester as a great place for building a network and developing your research and practice in the media, games and digital tech industries.
Career prospects
The course, and wider faculty within which SODA is based, offer excellent links with partners within Manchester, nationally and internationally. It has enabled previous creative graduates to benefit from the incredible opportunities that the city has to offer.
Graduates from the course will be equipped to go into diverse fields of employment related to their subject, such as teaching, research, publishing and curating. Additionally, they could work as independent artists and freelance creative practitioners within the cultural, digital and creative arts sectors in Manchester, the UK and abroad.
You will normally have at least a 2:1 undergraduate UK honours degree in a relevant discipline (e.g. creative/digital arts, management, education, science etc). A 2.2 will also be considered. Equivalent EU/international qualifications are also accepted. Applicants who do not meet these criteria will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Other professional qualifications will be considered on merit and/or with relevant professional experience.
