This Photography contemporary course is based at our purpose-built Creative Industries campus in the heart of Cardiff, comprising state-of-the-art studios and equipment, and a community of passionate people fully engaged in shaping the future of visual culture

The course brings together commercial, fashion, and art-based image-making wherever you find it in contemporary society. This variety is reflected in our programme of study, which is one of the most highly regarded in the UK. This practical photography degree is underpinned by the history of photography and visual culture, informed by our active links with industry.

Our course will encourage you to think about the impact of photography on culture and society and enable you to identify your place within the contemporary photographic industries. We work on this together, as a close community of learners and friends, to develop your own unique voice and approach.
