Course summary

This course is validated by the University of Hull.


The course provides students progressing from a relevant FdA programme (or equivalent) with the opportunity of gaining a full BA (Hons) in Photography.


As a student on the course, you will be offered the space to design, plan, co-ordinate and manage creative, photographic, and critical academic work. The course aims to create graduates who are as capable of exploring photographic practice within a critical context as they are at producing examples of photographic work, and who are as comfortable writing and speaking about photography, its rich and varied history and cultural importance, as they are working ‘in the field’ or in a studio setting.

Your studies on the course will balance the creative with the critical, making you equally capable of progressing on to postgraduate study or working as an independently-minded, creative practitioner within whatever field of photography interests you. You will also get experience in collaborating with like-minded individuals to organise an exhibition and promote your work through both traditional channels and new opportunities that have presented themselves in the digital age (for example, via websites, social media and self-publishing). A core aspect within the study of photography entails an engagement with the relationships that exist between areas of photographic practice and their artistic, industrial and social/cultural contexts. You will be encouraged to explore these issues, whilst practicing independence in terms of the planning, managing and organisation of both a long-term photographic project and a dissertation investigating an aspect of photography that interests you. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to articulate an appreciation and comprehension of key issues within contemporary photography; you will be encouraged to extend your photographic practice whilst also demonstrating the ability to explore your methods’ relationships with those practiced by other photographers – both contemporary and historical. Upon graduating from the course, you will be capable of articulating the methodologies within your photographic work, with the aim of producing work which is not simply technically competent, but demonstrates a level of originality and engagement with both photographic history/theory and relevant social/cultural issues.The programme will provide you with the skills you need in order to progress on to postgraduate study in photography or related subjects, or to allow you entry into graduate level employment. This could be as a practicing photographer within a commercial context, or initiating and promoting your own work in a fine art or documentary-related context; or, alternatively, in relevant disciplines, for example, teaching or writing about photography and other aspects of the arts and culture.This course is primarily designed for face-to-face learning, with attendance during lessons for the specified hours within the validation document. However, there may be periods of study where the government advises TEC Partnership that it is not safe to open campuses, or there is limited access due to social distancing measures. If the campus is closed, TEC Partnership will deliver your sessions online and offer you the necessary support and resources remotely. If there is limited access due to social distancing measures a blended model will be adopted, with some lessons taking place in small groups and others using online sessions and support.
