Develop your own unique vision as a photographer through hands-on practice. Within our supportive, creative community, you will be encouraged to explore, research, and communicate your ideas in innovative and diverse ways.

Overview

With a focus on practical skills and creative thinking, you will have the opportunity to develop your technical abilities and experiment with different approaches to image-making.

As a student you will have the opportunity to explore a variety of photographic genres, including documentary, landscape, and fine art.

You’ll be able to experiment with a range of media, from installation and mixed media to moving images and traditional processes, as you develop your skills and explore your creative potential. Through a dynamic blend of theory and practice, you’ll be challenged to think critically and develop innovative approaches to image-making, along with an understanding of the placement of imagery and its importance culturally and socially. With a focus on advancing your professional expertise, you’ll leave the course with a portfolio of work that showcases your unique vision and artistic voice.

Our MA program offers a dynamic mixed delivery model that blends online, on-campus, and on-location learning. This flexible approach allows you to tailor your studies around your personal commitments and interests and pursue your own unique pathways. Whether you prefer the convenience of online learning, the interactive experience of on-campus classes, or the hands-on exploration of on-location work, exploring our campus workshops, our program has something to offer you. With the freedom to shape your own future, you’ll be able to move your life and work forward and achieve your professional goals.
