The Bachelor of Design in Photography and Situated Media is an innovative course designed to create an experimental, creative and critical environment in which to practice and think about photography. It pushes existing photographic boundaries and embraces new and established digital and analogue techniques to understand what photography is and how it might be used and interpreted in the future.
The course teaches core photographic skills that develop cutting edge practical and analytical capabilities required by contemporary photographic practitioners in creative and media industries.
Course staff and students collaborate regularly with external organisations and community. Recent projects have involved Kaldor Public Arts Projects and the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.
The course introduces students to a wide range of photographic practices and students are encouraged to understand their own relationship to current thinking and modes of contemporary practice.
Students are encouraged to develop a personal photographic vision and language as they progress through set briefs and self-proposed projects. The course balances the acquisition of technical skills and creativity with critical historical and theoretical analysis.
The aim is to develop photographic practitioners who can think conceptually and who can adapt and develop appropriate visual languages for a range of contemporary cultural and industry outcomes.
Students are encouraged to apply their photographic skills within all aspects of the commercial and cultural photographic industries.
