Master of Arts - Photography

Students will enhance their skills, broaden their scope and refine their style as a photographer on our MA Photography degree course at UCA Farnham.

This course will encourage them to be bold, both in their work and the way in which they display it. Students will be encouraged to speculate, experiment and add complexity to their projects, using UCA's extensive facilities to help them realise their ideas.

We also focus on the dissemination, exhibition and publication of photographic work, as well as covering critical theory and reading and writing about the image.

With a balance of support that will develop their practical skills and foster a high standard of diverse critical approaches, students will respond to the diverse field of contemporary photography and explore practices of representation that engage with the still and moving image, as well as performance and installation.

Their studies will be supported by a number of internationally renowned staff in a department that encourages experimentation. This will help students to establish themselves as a rounded professional who can formulate ideas in a sophisticated framework, whilst also communicating impactfully with others, both visually and verbally.

Wherever their career aspirations lie - from fashion to fine art, editorial to curation - we place a strong emphasis on publication, empowering them to find creative ways to disseminate their work beyond the academic context.
