Masters in and around London - Part D

Whilst further expanding my search for post graduate education I have noticed that  huge bulk of the most exciting MAs are around the London area or even further down south .If I was to find the perfect course then I would consider moving that far but as it stands at the moment I would have to take a year out anyway to save money , a for the course and B for the move down there.

MA in Photography & Urban Cultures

This programme has been developed by the Centre for Urban and Community Research in response to the increasing interest in urban theory and the visual representation of urban cultures and places.

It is designed to encourage creative interplay between practice and theory; you will have the chance to consider cutting-edge debates in cultural and social theory in a research setting that actively encourages the development of photographic practice.

The programme offers working photographers, visual artists and media practitioners space to reflect critically on their practice.

It also offers those with a background in sociology, urban and cultural geography, cultural studies or anthropology the opportunity to combine visual forms of representation with standard forms of research techniques in investigating urban life and the physical environments of the city.

Photography MA

• As a student on Brighton's MA Photography course you can expect a creative and critical environment in which to practise and think about photography. The fine art-focused approach to photographic practice at Brighton allows you to benefit from the course's close relationship with work in moving image and sound, developing your own interests through individual research projects
• At Brighton you will develop a strong professional identity as an independent practitioner. Your course tutors are experienced professional photographers and photographic researchers working across a range of cutting-edge practice.
• Many of our students have enjoyed critical success for their photography. In recent years photography students have been awarded first place and runners-up in many of the most prestigious photography awards including the Jerwood Photography Prize, the Association of Photographers Photography Student of the Year Award, and the Guardian Newspaper Photography Student of the Year Award.
• The practice and analysis of photography on the MA Photography course at Brighton aims to engender a culture fully committed to testing the boundaries of the medium and pushing at the edges of the discipline so as to develop a conception of what photography is and how it might be used and interpreted in the future.

I have found another postgraduate degree that isn't an MA or PGCE . A PHD is a reaserch based course rather than a Masters whichis traditionally taught .

PhD in fine art practices, photography and visual communication

At Brighton University

 

Brighton has a culture of research excellence in the practice arts. The community has been developed and fostered through innovative practice such as the founding role its academics have played in the foundation of screendance as a discipline, the evolution of inclusive arts practice, experiments in photography, illustration and digital innovation among a wealth of work across fine art practices both traditional and contemporary.

Our research students join the rapidly developing and diversifying range of interests within the field of arts practices at Brighton, ‘practices’ which cover image and object making, the textual and writerly, the performative and time-based, and sound/aural work. 

We welcome applications for MPhil/PhD study in fine art and arts practices either as a practice-led study or one which brings elements of practice into a more traditional thesis submission. Of special interest are:

• The politics of representation, curatorship and exhibition making
• Arts practices and science
• Arts practices in health and social inclusion
• Arts practices in memory, narrative, histories, heritage and language
• Arts Practices and meaning through media and lens-based investigation
• Arts Practices in mediated performance, visions and the role of the bod
