MA Photography: Contemporary Dialogues

-Why choose MA Photography: Contemporary Dialogues and why at SMU The programme is made up of four pathways facilitating ‘contemporary dialogues' at Masters level in Art & Design. If you come to study for your Art & Design Masters degree at SMU you will encounter a unique perspective on Art & Design education.The course philosophy is that of experimentation, offering a challenge to conventional notions of medium - specificity in order to properly facilitate your ‘style' of expression and your inherent interests.You will be challenged immediately with our thought experiment module, designed to open up your mind to the broad range of inter-disciplinary and multi-modal possibilities available to the creative practitioner. From that point on, you will be asked to consider forming contemporary dialogues and new discourses with whatever medium - specific background you bring. This is not a rejection of your specific discipline, but an elevation onto a new plane of practice.The module concludes with a Japanese - style pecha kucha presentation of your findings and process-based work. This module will set the tone for the rest of your study precipitating a spirit of enquiry that will take you through to the award.It is our intention that your studies here will take the form of an encounter at various levels: with your chosen medium; with Art & Design issues in general; and with the world as a whole. Questions of non-materiality will be addressed as well as questions of materiality. As soon as anything becomes recognisable we slip into habitual thinking. When we engage in an unfamiliar encounter, then we become inquisitive, we learn, and we build knowledge and confidence, as well as a more original voice.Photography pathway The digital revolution has not only challenged most of our assumptions about photography and its social functions, but has also enabled contemporary dialogues between the medium itself and other interactive creative practices such as theatre, performance, and site-specific interventions. You will be encouraged to engage with these contemporary dialogues through lectures, seminars and your own practice, from initial concept and intention, the choice of materials and processes, to the context of presentation of your work. Based in the Dynevor Centre for Arts, Design and Media, the pathway provides an ideal environment in which to develop your individual photographic practice.

BA(Hons) Photojournalism (incorporating HND award)

-Why choose Photojournalism and why at SMU

For most of photography's history its relationship to documentary practice both in its capacity to report, tell stories, describe, and yet also subvert the, often assumed, truthfulness inherent to the medium, has been paramount to photography's success.The Photojournalism degree course promotes well-established skills associated with this practice: projects emphasise the construction of photo-essays, the use of image and text and the application of journalistic principles to self-initiated ideas, for example.In addition you will be challenged to find your own voice as a photographer by being made aware of photojournalism's contextual position within contemporary culture and by experimenting with the medium itself. Students engage with notions of subjectivity and expression leading to an extensive and sustained practice.You will study photography in a creative environment with an emphasis on research, the development of practical skills and the construction of self-initiated, narrative-driven projects. The course not only prepares students to meet the constantly shifting challenges of contemporary photojournalistic practice, but also allows space for students to explore areas that have opened up for documentary practitioners in recent years: gallery and art documentary contexts; web and multimedia applications; the use of documentary skills in commercial spheres including advertising, corporate, fashion and travel photography.This happens in a department with small class sizes allowing plenty of space for students to interact fully with both staff and their fellow students. We have an open-door policy that helps to create a friendly and informal atmosphere within the photography department. The Staff have their own areas of practice that add to this creative atmosphere with skills not only in photography but also journalism and business practice. Our aim is to produce graduates with individual creativity but also the knowledge and confidence to work in an exciting but highly competitive field.

• The development of a unique personal voice in your work

• Analysis of, and feedback about your work by tutors and fellow students

• Development of appropriate individual and team-based skills to aid interaction in professional environments

• Emphasis on research strategies to enable the successful completion of ideas

• Provision of workshops to encourage the development of practical skills that will aid your creativity

BA(Hons) Photography in the Arts (incorporating HND award)

-Why choose Photography in the Arts and why at SMU.The course is concerned with exploration, self-discovery and innovation through the medium of contemporary photography. You are encouraged to pursue your personal interests and individual pathways throughout the course, in order to develop a unique visual photographic signature. Due to the friendly atmosphere and small class sizes, the photography department enjoys exceptional student/staff interaction and communication. This dialogue takes place in the form of regular lectures, critiques, seminars and tutorials (and inevitably continues in the coffee bar).With regular workshops and outstanding facilities, you will be encouraged to explore ideas and develop skills applicable to contexts such as contemporary art, publishing, advertising, fashion, interiors, architecture and travel. The department has excellent connections with the photographic industry, from the gallery network through to documentary and advertising agencies.

• Individual creativity at the core of the course's philosophy

• Regular tutorials and an open-door policy

• Flexible approach to subject-matter and technique

• Develop skills applicable to a range of careers within visual culture

• Excellent connections with the photographic industry

More about the course:Students on both the photography programmes will regularly interact with professional contacts through the exciting series of visiting lecturers, where artists, photographers, curators, editors, writers and agents present their work and talk about their professional experiences. Recent examples include: Richard Billingham (artist/photographer), Clare Grafik (curator The Photographers Gallery), Simon Roberts (photographer), Emma Critchley (photographer), Mark Power (Magnum photographer), and Victoria Lukens (picture editor).In a more formal way you will also be encouraged to contend with industry standards within the External Project, where you have to find a client to work with. This project allows you to start your professional career whilst receiving supported tuition from academic staff on subjects such as contracts and costings, as well as technical and creative issues.Previous project examples include: NHS, Atkins Rail, National Trust, Sunday Times, Penguin Books, Corus, Channel 4, The Royal Ballet and Dazed and Confused.Also the Marketing and Self-Promotion Module continues this dialogue with the professional industry when a photographic agent and curator are brought in to advise the students on their personal practice before returning to assist with interview style assessments. Recent collaborators include: Jason Shenai (Millennium Images), Pippa Oldfield (Impressions Gallery), Susan Bright (free-lance curator and writer) and Helen James (National Portrait Gallery).The three-year BA (Hons) programme has an embedded HND qualification at the end of the second year.
