MSc Biological Photography and Imaging
How do we communicate the latest scientific research and environmental issues to the masses? What’s the best way to capture wildlife, in their natural habitat or the urban one? What makes a ground-breaking scientific discovery newsworthy?
Our truly unique Biological Photography and Imaging MSc course enables you to blend scientific study with the creative arts. This immersive course will see you develop skills in photography, videography and other types of imaging to produce a high quality, in-depth portfolio of work. We bring together all facets of science communication through photography, video, design, web, social media and scientific writing in the form of journalism to provide you with the tools you’ll need to enter the professional field.
You’ll be taught through the practical application of industry-standard software and photographic techniques, field trips and scientific analysis. The course caters to those with a science background who want to apply their knowledge in a creative and engaging format, but also those who have an arts background and want to move into science communication. You’ll learn the basics of photography and videography and many more skills. No prior knowledge or experience is required, all you need is passion.
Experts in the imaging field lead the course and their work has been featured in leading journals, photographic publications, such as Outdoor Photographer, international conferences, such as NatSca conferences, exhibitions and competitions.
You’ll also benefit from guest lectures and seminars led by industry leaders, former students and more. Previous guests have included Professor Heather Angel, Professor Afzal Ansary, Samantha Ibbott, Andy Parkinson, Chris Upton, Professor Tim Sexton, Keith Wilson, Chris Sale, Laura Sutherland, Kate McRae and Jacky Perks to name a few. All of this expertise will ensure you’re learning about the latest developments in the field.
The Royal Photographic Society validate our degree by offering students accreditation at the level of Graduate Imaging Scientist and ARPS via exemption (GIS ARPS) upon completion of the course. This is a great opportunity to attain an additional external professional qualification.
