This distinctive course builds on the principles and conventions of photography to explore contemporary image-making, using a variety of image capture, manipulation and processing techniques. You'll work with cameras, scanning, photogrammetry, CGI and computer vision, and learn key critical theory that underpins photography.
The course addresses those students with a curiosity in relation to expanded photographic and media practices, technologies, and contexts and who are seeking to produce a creative and resolved body of work using an expanded range of techniques drawn from current practice in photography and new media. As artistic and commercial practices evolve, students need to be able to understand, use and critically evaluate innovative practices across a range of destinations and working contexts. This course is intended to equip you for change.
On completion of the course, you will have the opportunity to showcase your creative production in the creative technologies show, which evidences to employers that you are ready for a career in an ever-changing digital and technological landscape. You will graduate with an impressive portfolio of original photographic work.
Home Work 2020 features the fantastic work of our 2020 graduates. The book showcases 37 individual projects, while also creating a unique record of this extraordinary year.

This innovative course offers a practical route into the rapidly evolving field of photography and image-making techniques. There will be an inter-disciplinary first semester, where you will work collaboratively with students studying media production, game design & development, and music & sound design to enhance your digital media production skills and to develop your ability to work effectively in a team.
From the second semester onwards, students will have the opportunity to research and experiment with different forms of photographic and other 2D and 3D image creation, as well as to collaborate with students on the other creative technology courses. Aligned with active research and drawing upon technical expertise within the School, students will be able to apply their creative skills and specialist knowledge to a wide range of related industries, such as photography, art and design, fashion, games, tourism, heritage, architecture, and health.
All the time you’ll be developing a portfolio of your own creative work and commercial commissions. Take a look at students’ recent work for some creative inspiration. They’ll be opportunities to showcase your work at exhibitions inside and outside the University.
Modules are assessed by projects, essays and presentations. Methods of assessment for course overall: 100% coursework.
At LSBU, we want to set you up for a successful career. During your studies – and for two years after you graduate – you’ll have access to our Employability Service, which includes:
Our Student Enterprise team can also help you start your own business and develop valuable entrepreneurial skills.
Our staff are all professional photographers, writers or curators and are actively engaged in a range of practices, from commercial work, to publishing and exhibiting.
We have research links with:
There is a regular and extensive guest lecturer programme, where professionals from different areas of the photography industry talk to the students about their own work, and their career path. Recent guests have included:
You'll undertake work experience in both the second and third years of your degree. You'll be supported in finding work experience by the staff team, the university's employability service, and the guest lecturer programme.
Offers for this course will be made on the basis of your UCAS application and a portfolio of work (15- 25 images). You'll be notified by email with advice about how to upload your online portfolio, once we have received your UCAS application.
When putting together your portfolio think carefully about how best to represent your work and your interests in photography. If possible ask your current tutors for advice when putting your portfolio together. Generally it is best to show work from projects, rather than lots of unconnected images. These could be projects you have completed as part of your education, or personal work that you have done.
We also consider applications from those who have gained relevant skills through a wide range of vocational qualifications or responsible experience.
If you have already completed some studies at another university, we may be able to consider you for advanced entry. Please see our advanced entry page for more information.
