University of Cumbria

This is a BA(hons) photography course it’s a full time and a part time, and the duration of the course is 6, 3 years. I will need 240 ucas points to get on to this course which is a MMM and I think I can achieve that. The first year introduces you to a range of themes and practises, critical theory, and to working independently as a photographer. You will be given a strong grounding in the principles and practise of photography debates and research methods. You will be able to explore a variety of lens-based genre through contemporary and traditional ways of working. You will be able to practise in the way you prefer, and will build a body of work that is a demonstration of your own ideas. You are encouraged to work experimentally either on location or in the studio and will be supported with tutorial groups which access technical workshops in camera and lighting techniques, Adobe Photoshop and printing processes. There is an option to study a module in traditional B&W photography practise if you choose. 
From the second year onwards, tutors will encourage you to further integrate your photography practise with critical thinking. You will work on self-initiated projects and exhibit your work in a public gallery or place. In addition, modules in Advanced Visual Narratives, Work Experience and Critical Discourse are offered in support your chosen position within contemporary practise.
In the third year you focus on an individually negotiated major project resulting in a final public exhibition that includes the production of a high quality professional folio or work in book form.  There is an option to choose either a practical route or a more academic route for those who may wish to do further study after graduating.  The course has a strong professional ethic and you will be encouraged to work towards one of the many career opportunities on graduation.

 This is a photography BA (hons) combined the length of the course is 3 years full times, to get onto the course I will need a minimum of 240-280 UCAS points, which is basically a merit/distinction. Photography is an exciting and dynamic course of study, developing each student's individual approach to making photographic images. The programme is supported by guest lectures from international photographers, artists, writers and curators. 
The cross-flow of ideas between Photography and Fine Art is a core feature of the programme. Through the course you are encouraged to explore the material possibilities of the medium by developing digital and darkroom skills while investigating a wide range of different photographic forms including the print, artist's books and the photograph as object. We encourage a wide range of approaches to the medium including documentary, fashion and portraiture and fine art photography practise. We also encourage interdisciplinary study and support access to other art production facilities and teaching contact across the department. Over the three years of the course, we encourage you to reinforce your practise with thorough and wide ranging research.
