Photography combines technical instruction and creative freedom. Whether you’re interested in digital photography or traditional darkroom-based work, you’ll receive expert support and tuition. This is an ideal subject for students wishing to follow a path into film, media, the arts and photography-related areas. Photography is regarded as a cross-curricular subject and is accepted by universities and colleges as a discipline showing wide-ranging ability.
Many students go on to study Photography, Film and Animation or Visual Arts at university, or combined degrees such as Historical and Cultural Studies, or Media and Computer Imagery. Possible careers include commercial/fine art photography, freelance photography/photojournalism, advertising, graphic design, multi-media, film and television.
