(Uclan) the university of central Lancashire is in a practical location for me due to it being in between Manchester and Morecambe so it will be an easy commute or a not to stressful move , i would still have support near by . I have actually found 2 MA corses that they offer based around photography and other fields of interest .
The straight MA photography degree sounds really appealing to me and figures crossed with the right final grade for my degree very achievable . They as a 2:1 but you can also apply with a 2:2 and strong portfolio After reading the course description below i am started to get quite excited about the dreaded life beyond university . There is a lot of opportunity out there i just need to find the one that's most fitting for me .
PHOTOGRAPHY MA/PGDIP/PGCERT
The MA Photography programme offers an in-depth, creative and socially engaged postgraduate level education in the practices of contemporary photography. You will develop an appreciation of photography as a tool for personal expression, cultural storytelling and political activism. Under the guidance of professional staff you will experience extensive practical workshops and critical seminars in world-class facilities. In addition, you will learn an array of other complimentary skills such as sound, filmmaking and ethnographic fieldwork and be offered chances to work with professional partners here and abroad. The course aims to help you become a flexible multi-skilled, lateral thinker with a critical and vocational awareness of how photography works for a range of destinations and web-based platforms.
Another course UCLAN offer which is of interest tome at the moment is there visual journalism MA. I feel like this qualification is open to more specialist job opportunity's.
VISUAL JOURNALISM MA
Postgraduate students from this course will be part of the newly emerging generation of digital storytellers. Using video, text, photography, audio and info-graphics candidates will be able to explore a spectrum of approaches from news journalism to ethnographic practices to convey stories about the real world. Embedded in live projects, with international opportunities and professional practitioners the programme aims to equip students with the essential practical, creative and vocational skills for the media landscape of the twenty first century.
