Course summary

The BA (Hons) Creative Practice: Photography course at Morley College London is a flexible full-time and part-time programme offering a subject specific and multidisciplinary creative education, equipping students with creative, personal, and professional skills through individual and collaborative projects, culminating in a final independently conceived project to empower their creative direction and career aspirations. In the first year (Level 4), students gain and develop a solid grounding in photography, additionally focusing on wider skills of analysis, reflection, research, and digital competencies. Collaborative projects introduce the dynamic nature of the creative industries and build essential capabilities for multidisciplinary work. The second year (Level 5) encourages experimentation of students’ photography skills through live project briefs and work-based learning with established professionals. Students further define their creative identity, applying their skills in individual and team-based projects. By exploring the context and applications of creative practice, they refine their direction and gain practical tools for societal and industry engagement. In the final year (Level 6), students independently design and deliver a major creative project, supported by a research methods module and professional development opportunities. This stage emphasizes iterative processes like design, prototyping, collaboration, and presentation, empowering students to confidently situate their practice within the creative industries. Final year photography students can exhibit their work within one of the Morley exhibition spaces. Throughout the course, students are encouraged to explore, innovate, and apply their photography and wider creativity skills to real-world challenges, shaping their ambitions in a supportive, induvial and multidisciplinary environment. By the program’s conclusion, graduates are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive in the creative industries and contribute meaningfully to society.
