Course summary

In providing spaces for exploration and reflection in relation to publics, visual strategies and the contextual location of independent work, the course presents a distinctive way for you to explore the possibilities of your work alongside a longitudinal development of your core practice.

  • You will have the option to apply for a ‘professional experience’ opportunity2 designed to further develop your skills and knowledge with the aim of maximising your employability prospects. See 'Modules' section for more information.
  • The course challenges you to imagine, and work with, new audiences, processes and professional futures in order to enter into a sustainable and flexible career working with images.

Assessment method

A variety of assessment types are included on the course so as to facilitate your development into a professional world which may demand work to be presented, formatted, proposed or submitted in different forms. You will present verbally as well as visually, will submit essays, take part in Q&A sessions and also have the opportunity to define your own forms of submission in several modules. All modules will provide you with formative, as well as summative, feedback to aid your progression through the module and understanding of your own development.


Entry requirements

Applicants to this master’s degree should normally possess an honour's degree (2:1 or equivalent) in a relevant subject. If the degree is in an unrelated subject, applicants need to demonstrate appropriate industry knowledge and experience in their application documentation. Non-traditional entry students are welcome: applicants without formal qualifications but professional/industrial experience may be admitted on the basis of an interview and submission of supporting material (see below). Each applicant will be required to include a short statement regarding their interest in studying on the Photography MA course at Coventry University (300-500 words) and are invited to include a link to an online portfolio in order that the course team can get to know their practice. All applicants will be offered a videoconferencing conversation as part of the application where they will have the opportunity to meet with a member of the course team and ask questions about the programme of study. Candidates with professional/industrial experience, and/or other relevant training and experience may be admitted with lower qualifications. We recognise a breadth of qualifications; speak to one of our advisers today to find out how we can help you.
