MA
Through our MA Photography course, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your career as a creative practitioner within a supportive, inclusive and established learning environment. As an emerging practitioner, you’ll explore your role in society across diverse media, from still and moving image to CGI and AI. You’ll explore fresh perspectives on photographic practice and engage with contemporary debates and ideas, shaped by rigorous research. Taking an open and experimental approach, you’ll be encouraged to embrace curiosity, risk-taking and uncertainty as spaces for creativity. Cross-disciplinary collaboration is integral to the programme, and you’ll benefit from opportunities to collaborate with students from other creative MA courses. This approach will support you to expand your practice and master the technical and professional skills most relevant to your artistic ambitions, including exhibition, presentation, sustainability, ethics and audience engagement. Your projects will be self-directed and supported through lectures, seminars, tutorials, critiques, workshops, symposia and study visits. Teaching staff and visiting practitioners will guide your professional development and career awareness. Meanwhile, our strong links with industry – as well as local, regional and national galleries, museums and festivals – will provide valuable opportunities to connect with the wider field and contribute to debates shaping contemporary photography.
