Bachelor of Photography (BP117P26) (118027J) RMIT’s Bachelor of Photography is a scholarly program that integrates technical expertise, critical engagement, professional practice and ethical judgement.

Students are challenged to produce work that responds to contemporary critical discourses in both local and global contexts, while exploring emerging technologies and evaluating their relevance to their own photographic practice.

The degree recognises the diverse nature of photographic practice and careers. After developing foundational skills in the first semester, students select an area of specialisation, with the flexibility to undertake subjects beyond their primary discipline.

Learning is structured through project-based subjects that combine theoretical, practical and professional development. As students progress, they take increasing responsibility for directing their own learning and producing photographic projects aligned with their chosen specialisation.
