Cambridge School of Art is pleased to launch a new MA Photography course to join our popular BA (Hons)Photography course.
Course overview
This course is designed for photographers interested in defining their practice and becoming critical practitioners. It will invite you to experiment, research and disseminate your practice. It is a forward-thinking course, approaching photography as a global industry in which practitioners need to be aware of international discourses and opportunities.
Teaching
All lecturers on this course are photographic practitioners and researchers with extensive international experience. Teaching takes place in purpose-built art and photographic facilities and lecture theatres. You will have access to the facilities outside of taught sessions to develop and complete your coursework.
The team has a wide range of research interests and the scope of its practices is global. This international dimension of the degree is underpinned by staff from different cultures and backgrounds who understand the requirements and expectations of many professional environments. As a whole, the team is experienced in international and cross-disciplinary projects (including, among others, photography and video, documentary and political ideology, digital installation and critical visual deconstruction, fashion photography and gender studies, post-colonial archival research).
The artistic and research output of the MA staff, as well as their teaching experience, makes this course home to a diverse set of photographic practices: from documentary and fine art to institutional or historical critique; from traditional processes or found photography to digital technical innovation; from theory-informed to theory-led research projects. Every team member is an active photographic practitioner, aware of current trends and innovations in the field.
