develop practical, academic and research skills alongside their exploration of

staff will offer the career guidance needed to pursue their passions
professionally.

A fundamental aspect of the student’s development is educational visits,
which enhance the course experience and underpin all assignments. Previous
destinations have included Paris (Paris Photo), London and Dublin, giving
students the opportunity to not only add to their own portfolios but also to
network with other photographers at an international level. Guest lectures are
also incorporated into the curriculum to enhance students understanding of
professional practice and previous guest lectures have included acclaimed
photographers, curators, marketing and PR representatives and specialist
practitioners.
Special Features: There will be opportunity for learners to attain a level of
professional practice. Strong links to the creative industries will facilitate
industry-related briefs and real scenarios that provide an opportunity for
students to acquire professional work ethics, time planning skills and working
within a creative team. Learning is supported through a series of guest lectures
and contextual visits, where students will have the opportunity to visit
galleries, museums and exhibitions and have discussions with professional
practitioners for advice and guidance. Educational trips also feature within the
course and are an excellent opportunity for students to network with photography
professionals and add to their portfolio.
