Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Photography (Editorial and Advertising) (W648)

The Editorial and Advertising Photography course, awarded Association of Photographers Course of the Year 2025, prepares students for the dynamic world of visual storytelling and commercial imaging. Editorial photography focuses on creating narratives for magazines, online publications, social media, and behind-the-scenes content for film, TV, and brands. Advertising photography, on the other hand, promotes products, services, charities, and organisations across print, posters, digital banners, and social media platforms.

Students join a supportive creative community that spans year groups and courses, benefiting from a strong network of alumni who mentor and inspire. The curriculum encourages versatility, allowing students to explore a wide range of subjects—from fashion, food, and automotive to still life, music, interiors, and portraiture—while developing professional skills to apply their creativity commercially.

Industry engagement is central to the course, with frequent visiting speakers and workshops from professionals who commission, create, and promote photography. Graduates leave equipped for freelance work or employment in photography and the wider creative industries. The programme is recognised for fostering entrepreneurship, professional working practices, diversity, and ethical approaches to visual media.
