Course Description

Equip yourself with industry-ready skills, an informed professional portfolio, and an effective online presence. Our master’s degree course harnesses the symbiotic relationship between academic inquiry, industry-grounded practice and informed research. 

Through a broad, varied curriculum, you’ll explore the many ways in which you can channel your creativity. Photographic practice can be used as a way of understanding the world around you, fostering introspection and tackling contemporary issues by engaging with a wider audience. Our tutors are also active in a wide range of photography genres – ranging from fashion and documentary photography to fine art photography – so you’ll develop knowledge from across the industry. 

Underpinning this entire degree course is one of the most important, versatile and transferable skills that every master’s graduate should acquire: rigorous self-reflection. You’ll be encouraged to document your progress, methodologies, creative processes and the challenges you encounter in a Reflective Journal.  

Entry Requirements

We encourage applications from students with a broad range of qualifications and we welcome students from all educational backgrounds. We’ll take into account the knowledge and skills that you have developed outside the classroom, as well as your previous qualifications.

There are two different routes to entry: the standard  and non-standard  routes. Admissions staff will assess entries to determine which route is appropriate for you when you apply.

Standard Route

You'll usually have BA (Hons) Degree graded at 2.2 or above, or an equivalent UK or international qualification in photography or a related subject.

Non-standard Route

If you don’t have the standard academic qualifications, you could still be considered for entry if there’s sufficient evidence to indicate that you can fulfil the objectives of the course of study and achieve the standard of the final award. An example of this would be to showcase a portfolio of work as requested by the admissions team.

We also welcome applications from anyone with other qualifications or work experience that demonstrates appropriate knowledge and skills to study at postgraduate level.
