This exciting and diverse photographic course will enable you to develop your creative skills inside one of the region’s best-resourced photography facilities. It gives you access to professionally specified studios, specialist digital imaging suites, and a range of different camera formats, chemical darkrooms and top class digital printing equipment. The first year will introduce you to the core methods and concepts through a range of challenging assignments covering studio photography, advertising, music photography, questions of identity and culture, and specialist location techniques with an environmental theme. All of these projects are supported by an enriching contextual program that explores the ideas behind imagery. The second year has a professional focus with an emphasis on preparation for higher education or working professionally in the creative industries. The range of assignments include a commissioned architectural brief, experimental techniques and the chance to specialise in commercial fashion, event or portrait photography. The year ends with a major project for which students write their own negotiated assignment. Wherever possible throughout the course we work with external companies to set live briefs thus allowing students to experience a real-world-working environment. We also provide opportunities for students to exhibit their work to raise their profile and experience the commercial side of the industry. By completing the two-year course and successfully passing all units you will achieve a Level 3 Extended Diploma accredited by UAL – equivalent to three full A-levels, or a maximum of 420 UCAS points. Students will be supported to progress to Higher Education at Plymouth College of Art, another university or into employment.
