Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Documentary Photography and Visual Activism

Program Overview

The Documentary Photography and Visual Activism degree programme is the first of its kind in the UK. As documentary photographers and visual activists, you will be encouraged to re-evaluate and challenge the history and conventions of photography. You will develop an increased awareness of the power structures inherent in photography.

The course contemporise’s traditional, practical, documentary, and photojournalistic skills through an emphasis on the medium as a social rather than an individual process. You will be supported to become advocates for the causes you are most passionate about, and to become fully engaged in investigating your chosen subject areas. At the core of the course is a focus on the ethical responsibility of the photographer and an awareness of the implications implicit in the act of representation.

During the course, you will be encouraged to work collaboratively within the local community and to think about your wider role and responsibilities as active citizens and what this means for a democratic society.

This course embraces photography in its broadest sense, engaging with the latest technology to harness the potential of new digital media.
