What will I learn?

BA(Hons) Photography is based in the city of Bristol, a vibrant arts and media community that will challenge and inspire you. The course offers a vibrant, collaborative environment, modern facilities, supportive workshop instruction and expert input, all underpinned by theory and critique.
