Bachelor of Creative Arts (Photography)

Our objective is to provide photography graduates with the practical creative skills, critical awareness and confidence required to successfully establish themselves as professional contemporary image makers in artistic and commercial environments or to pursue higher level course work and research studies at a postgraduate level.

Photo-media industries are diverse and continually evolving. Our students are successfully establishing exciting careers in a wide variety of professional imaging industries including; professional fine arts practice; commercial studios; product and fashion; self-established businesses and freelance; advertising, graphics, commercial illustration and retail industries; photo laboratory imaging and printing; documentary and evidence photography; digital imaging bureaus, image banks and film industries; community and government arts professions and photographic education.

The programme provides a range of opportunities to pursue individual career pathways and develop a personal sense of style and autonomy as well as the ability to work in collaborative image making environments at a local and global level.

Multi-disciplinary teaching staff / practitioners and technical support staff will guide and encourage you through a combination of lectures, practical workshops and demonstrations, class tutorials and critique sessions, gallery visits, solo and collaborative based projects. Guest speakers and professional practitioner presentations are a regular feature within the programme and students also undertake fieldwork and industry visits and exhibitions of their own works. Students also have the opportunity to enrich their studies with a variety of options for international study tours and work placement internships.
