Module Details
Module Indicative Content
Levels One and Two of the Photography award have provided opportunities for you to practise a number of different kinds of photography and to amass a considerable range of technical skills. As you enter Level Three it is expected that you will have professional and personal ambitions for your photographic practice. This module provides the opportunity for you to develop your own areas of particular interest and to refine your skills, in preparation for entry into a specific part of the professional world of photography. Each student proposes a personal area of study that demonstrates and exploits the knowledge and experience gained in previous studies. Every student's programme is approved separately following discussions between the student and their supervising tutor. Individual Programme One is about enaging in research and practical photographic work that will contribute to and define the framework for the production and implementation of work in Individual Programme Two.
