A series of inductions and workshops prepare you for practical work. You consider aesthetic, technical, and conceptual approaches to image-making, and employ these in the planning, development, and resolution of a photographic project. You are encouraged to experiment, test new ideas, and actively challenge and develop your previous work.

Photographs are not just images: we encounter them in material contexts. Explore the ways in which photographs can be deployed and disseminated, and how they might be engaged with by viewers. You consider aesthetic, technical and conceptual approaches to produce a photographic artefact made for an intended audience.

Undertake a major, in-depth, individual study into a specialisation relating to your discipline.

This project is appropriate to commercial, industrial, creative, or research-based fields according to your own interests and career aspirations. You are responsible for the conceptualisation, research and development of the project, producing an end product relevant to your field of study.

Develop the tools, skills and techniques required to embark on research specific to each discipline or sector. Explore a comprehensive collection of engaging research methods and practices, as well as critical thinking, connecting with external facing issues and real-world issues, challenges, policies and audiences.

This interdisciplinary module facilitates a vibrant postgrad community and a cross-pollination of ideas, looking beyond the specialist subject to the wider panorama, offering multiple perspectives and inter or trans-disciplinary approaches.

Making strong images is only part of a successful photographic practice. Develop the necessary skills to operate at a professional level, whatever your chosen career path and aspirations.

A series of seminars explores effective communication, marketing and promotion, legal and ethical obligations, business models, and careers in photography. You develop practical skills and industry know-how, underpinned by relevant critical and theoretical contexts.
