The successful candidate will have experience of teaching at undergraduate level, as well as a network of industry contacts and relevant professional experience as a professional photographer.

The Photography degree course has been created with an informed understanding of where photography is today and how it is evolving in the 21st century and balances academic study with hands-on photographic practice.
