What will I learn?

The Photography and Moving Image BA (Honours) programme provides students with a comprehensive skillset which is founded on the principles of traditional photographic, moving image and lens-based media processes, as they apply and are relevant to the rapidly advancing field of contemporary art and digital media practice.

This award winning and newly expanded programme offers an engaging education in contemporary photography and moving image practice, while providing students with a comprehensive skillset and knowledge of lens-based media in all its forms, from traditional wet photography to new digital media techniques and technologies.
