Photography (Blended Learning Pathway) HNC @ SCQF Level 7

Introduction

HNC in Photography is an exciting new distance learning programme offered to highly motivated individuals with a passion for photography seeking an opportunity to further their knowledge and gain a qualification. This course will ideally suit photographers and amateur photographers, or artists looking to further their knowledge and gain a qualification.

The majority of your learning will be completed outside the college; however, you will be required to attend college for practical workshops and 1/1 tutorials (this can be negotiated if you live outside the country). You will also need to engage with your tutor on a weekly basis through online platforms whilst completing project work independently.

This course is designed to reflect the ever-changing professional photographic industry. Students are able to spend the majority of their time working on practical projects, with underpinning theory being addressed. Whether your inclination is towards fine art photography, commercial photography or the world of digital media photography and manipulation, we have the course for you.

As a creative, you will be challenged to examine your current practice and thinking about photography and build your knowledge by means of practical assignments, tutorials, group discussions and research. You will need your own suitable equipment in order to complete this course of study via the blended learning pathway, to include: DSLR camera (with video capability)
