Course Description

This four-year degree is ideal if you are passionate about photography but do not currently meet the entry requirements for a standard three-year undergraduate course. The programme includes an intensive foundation year (Year 0), which provides a supportive environment to explore diverse creative approaches, develop essential technical skills, and build a substantial portfolio of work. Following the foundation year, you will progress to the three-year photography degree, where you will refine your creative identity and professional practice. The course is taught at the institution's Aldgate campus and offers access to industry-standard facilities, including photographic studios, film processing suites, and digital labs. Students benefit from a curriculum that balances practical making with critical and contextual studies, preparing you for a career in the creative industries. Whether you are looking to specialise in photography or explore broader artistic directions, this course offers the flexibility and expert guidance to help you succeed in your creative journey.
