Taught by award-winning artists, photographers and leading academics in the field, UWE's distinctive, practice-based MA in Photography will allow students to explore the diverse applications of the medium and to deepen their understanding of photography as a discipline.
Through a course of intense study, creative practice, and professional partnerships, students will develop the passion that brought them to photography in the first place and be supported to produce innovative work, whilst also building skills to maximize and contextualize their creative outputs.
UWE partnerships with Bristol Photography Festival and IC Visual Lab, two highly reputable Bristol-based photography organisations with national and international influence, will provide students with a wide range of work experience placements and live briefs to work on. They'll also have access to industry talks and events, opportunities to display their work at prestigious exhibitions and venues and high-level industry mentorships.
The course includes guest-lectures, intensive week-long workshops, practice-based interactive activities, and individual portfolio reviews with professional practitioners and industry leaders, including curators, editors, publishers, producers, art buyers, agents, gallerists and designers.
Students will have opportunities to meet with, share work with, and initiate long-lasting professional relationships with influential professionals within the creative industries.
