Overview
The Foundation
Degree in Photography has been designed around an ethos based upon creative
problem solving and ensuring a learning environment in which innovation and
originality are cultivated. This course aims to produce versatile photographers
who are able to work effectively in a wide range of location and studio-based
genres and think creatively while drawing on knowledge of critical understanding
of the social, economic and cultural factors influencing their professional
setting. Masterclasses in a range of subjects including drone photography,
sports photography and use of a range of historical processes are available
throughout the year. A varied visiting lecture programme of local, national and
international photographers will be available to students in order to further
