Master of Arts Photography W6411

Taught by award-winning professional photographers and leading academics in the field, UWE's distinctive, practice-based MA in Photography will allow students to explore the diverse applications of the medium and to deepen their understanding of photography as a discipline.

Through a course of intense study, creative practice, and professional partnerships, students will develop the passion that brought them to photography in the first place and be supported to produce innovative work, whilst also building skills to maximize and contextualize their creative outputs.

The course includes intense practice-led study weeks and the chance to work with creative industry partners, with professional practitioners running lectures, workshops and mentoring activities.

By taking advantage of a specially designed collective agency featuring a publishing imprint, editing bureaux and exhibiting forum, students will gain hands-on experience of collaborative practice.

These skills will allow them to channel both project based personal work and their response to live briefs, initiated by a range of sources such as business clients, curators, picture editors and design agencies, to successful outcomes.

Students will also benefit from the practice-led research within the department, with links to the Photography Research Group, the Centre for Fine Print Research, and the Digital Cultures Research Centre.
