BA Fine Art: Photography begins with photography but expands into the processes that emerge from a global culture of widespread image-making. You will explore the future of the image, its historical and material foundations, its potential as a social and political tool and its status and meaning within fine art and the everyday.
What to expect
- To test and explore the creative possibilities and limits of photography.
- Consider the broadest applications of image and material through experimentation.
- To think about documentation, advertising, personal memento, public image and object of expression. To ask how these uses affect our perception of photographic culture.
- Explore photography's diverse relationships to the sciences and technologies of vision, including machine vision, physics and neurology, and the history of expanded photographic practices.
- Be introduced to technical processes from analogue to digital.
- To investigate methods through which your work reaches its audience.
- Explore international ideas about contemporary photographic practice.
- To study the practice of fine art, its history, culture and contemporary position.
- To make work and develop an ethical practice.
- To express and explore your artistic, social and personal interests informed by focussed research.

Work experience and opportunities
All our students have the opportunity and are supported in exhibiting their work to an external audience. During the second year all our students can take part in a wide variety of seminars and workshops hosted by a variety of external arts organisations.
Students will have the opportunity to take part in the college's international exchange scheme to study abroad. Recent BA Fine Art students have spent part of their study with partner institutions in Leipzig, Madrid, Marseille, Milan, New York and Tokyo.
In the third year all students, can if they wish, undertake a work placement, instead of a written dissertation or practical live project. Students have worked alongside well-established artists, such as Richard Wentworth or David Batchelor. Others have worked within educational or curatorial institutions, such as Tate, Chisenhale Gallery, or within a specialist area such as a foundry.

BA Fine Art: Photography is offered in full-time mode. It is divided into 3 stages over 3 academic years. Each stage consists of 30 teaching weeks. You will be expected to commit an average of 40 hours per week to your course, including teaching hours and independent study.
