Overview

You’ll graduate as a critically engaged creative who is conceptually driven and professionally focused.

What can you expect?

Each year of study is divided into two 15-week blocks with individual units focused on Practice, Contextual Studies andProfessional Practice to support and develop your knowledge and understanding.

Professional practice and business skills are provided both within the course and by the award-winning UAL Student Enterprise and Employability service.

Together these enable you to develop a distinctive and original voice as a photographer, and provide you with the conceptual, technical and professional skills to underpin the highest level of practice and prepare you for your future career.

Technical workshops covering a huge variety of techniques are delivered throughout the course, enabling you to become expert in many areas.

Exposure to professional environments through visits, lectures and our weekly artist and theorist programmes broadens your vision on the possible career outcomes of a photography degree.

We also encourage exploration of the wider resources at LCC such as the library’s special collections, Photography and the Archive Research Centre and the Stanley Kubrick archive where possible.

Students are given first-hand introductions to these areas and beyond the bounds of the University, you are also encouraged to utilise the central London location that allows ready access to international museums and galleries.

The achievements of the staff team and the contacts they have with the larger world of photography help create a stimulating environment in which to work and learn.
