Photography with Video BA (Hons)

Our course takes a very contemporary approach to studying photography with video. It combines practice, theory and professional experience to help you develop unique and innovative photographic work. You will learn a wide range of skills across both still and moving image, using analogue and digital. Our facilities include a photographic studio, portable lights, Imacon film scanners, a 44” Epson printer, new iMacs, medium and large format cameras and a darkroom. We also have two photographic technicians to help you.

The teaching team consists of photographers who exhibit and publish around the world. We invite visiting speakers to give lectures and recently hosted photographers Lorenzo Vitturi, Tereza Zelenkova, Matthew Finn and Eleanor Macnair, writer Sean O'Hagan, and curator/publisher Hannah Watson.

You will learn through a programme of lectures, seminars, critiques, tutorials and gallery visits. Contextual studies are integrated into the practice modules to build your understanding of contemporary ideas and help you develop sophisticated, cutting-edge work. Your project outcomes will include photobooks, exhibition prints, moving image, research blogs, presentations and portfolios.

You will have opportunities for funded study abroad through Erasmus and Study USA as well as undertaking placements in industry. The close links we have with galleries and photo festivals help you build your own networks and experience from the start of your studies and beyond. Our students and graduates have been selected for high-profile prizes including the Jill Todd award, the RUA Young Artist award, the Genesis Imaging award and the Kassel Photobook Dummy award.

We have been profiled by the British Journal of Photography as one of the most significant photography schools in Europe. The digital era has brought new possibilities for the creation and distribution of images. This is a hugely exciting time to study photography.
