MA Photography
This course provides the opportunity to experiment with new photographic processes and to explore photography as a tool to engage and stimulate social thinking. While the photographic image remains fundamental to your study, the focus of this programme is social, cultural and political. To support your ongoing practice in photographic exhibition and scholarly research, the course includes seminars on cultural, media and philosophical theory, talks by visiting practitioners, group debates about different methodologies and workshops on photographic technique. You will be encouraged to learn from, and collaborate with, experienced staff and your fellow students in order to develop your own creative style. The Media, Film and Broadcast Centre is a purpose-built production environment which includes television studios, radio studios, video editing suites, audio edit suites, Apple Mac digital media labs with Adobe software and a sound theatre. Career and Personal Development: The course aims to develop the technical and critical-thinking skills that can prepare students for careers in a variety of creative industry sectors. Graduates have gone on to work as independent photographers, in arts organisations or on to careers in academia. Some choose to undertake study and research at doctoral level. Careers Service: The University Careers and Employability Team offer qualified advisors who can work with you to provide tailored, individual support and careers advice during your time at the University.
