Develop your unique identity as a visual storyteller, learning skills from across this rapidly-changing and dynamic industry from news photography and current events to conceptual documentary, editorial and multimedia. BA (Hons) Photojournalism and Documentary Photography engages with real- world issues to form a new generation of practitioners who can critically reflect on the role of photography and moving image in promoting social change. The course is deeply committed to diversity, inclusivity, and ethical storytelling: understanding how we as documentary image makers relate to, impact, and influence the people whose stories we tell. We see documentary photography as an umbrella term under which photojournalism, documentary, and other related forms of storytelling, including moving image, exist.3 years
