Photography BA
Unique vision developed building on the fundamentals of classic and contemporary photography
Students of the Photography BA programme can learn the basiscs of classic and contemporary photography and interdisciplinary creative strategies from illustrious teachers, in small group, using state-of-the-art technologies, to become style setters globally.
The programme is designed to train photographers with a thorough knowledge of photography and an autonomous vision, who are able to express their ideas on a variety of subjects using the diverse language of photography across various means, styles and genres.
Our long-standing Photography programme develops the visual, social and creative skills of students, opens up their mind to embrace current phenomena of the world, and prepares them for entering the MA programme that requires autonomous creative work.
