For our Media and Photography curriculum, we offer a degree in Media, Moving Image and Photography. This course focuses on the creative industries, within the sectors of media and photography. It embraces the ever-changing technologies and platforms associated within the lens-based industries and aims to develop you into a work-ready, creative, independent and highly skilled media and photography practitioner.
Working across either a media or photography pathway or a combination of the two, you will become production ready whilst also exploring the mediums from cultural, historical and academic perspectives.
The modules on this course will allow you to work on both self-generated and client-led briefs, which will challenge and inspire students to think creatively. These skills will enable you to gain work placements, find freelance opportunities and gain an insight into the lens-based industries.
