Full-time students attend taught sessions twice a week in semester one, less frequent taught and contact sessions in semester two and occasional contact sessions in the summer semester.
Part-time students attend weekly taught sessions in year one and less frequent sessions in year two. These run consecutively in the afternoon and early evening. They normally take place on the same days each week and consist of interactive lectures, seminars, critiques, tutorials, independent research, and talks by visiting photographers, artists, curators, publishers and critics.
There will be assessments at the end of each semester and you must pass each module to proceed through the course. To successfully gain an MA you have to produce three portfolios of images, two analytical essays of 2000-3000 words, two seminars, one report of 1500 words and one written critical commentary of 5000-7000 words. The culmination of the MA is the Major Project which has the largest weighting.
