Three strands run through the course to cement your future-ready focus enabling you to build your practical and subject-specific skills, through access to analogue darkrooms as well as digital cameras, printers and lighting studios, create an extensive body of work by developing your making process skills and working on personal projects and develop an outward-looking ethos by responding to live briefs that consider audience and market, resolved into outcomes appropriate to the industry.
