    Course Summary

    A BA in Photography from Art University Bournemouth is a great way to add to your technical skills. It will teach you exactly how to stage, discover or manipulate images which really capture the souls of your subjects – and the hearts of your audience. Whether your goal is a career in commercial or artistic photography, you’ll gain the skills you need at AUB. After all, this is the very program where world-recognised artists like Nick Knight and Wolfgang Tillmans got their starts.

    You’ll learn by engaging with the process of photography directly. The curse is extremely visual in nature, and you are encouraged to experiment and to take artistic risks. In addition to understanding the theories behind the practice of photography, you’ll do a great deal of practical work. This will make sure you are both artistically and technically capable of making a name for yourself in this competitive field.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
