The Bachelor of Design in Photography and Situated Media explores both traditional photographic practice and more contemporary uses for urban media, such as exhibitions and installations. The degree has a strong emphasis on the relationship between digital photography, its purpose in an environmental situation, focusing on city and urban issues of media placement in an internationalised professional context.
This course not only recognises the technological change brought about by digital advances in photography, but responds to actual and potential directions in which technological change impacts upon photography, the production of imagery and their applications in the real and virtual worlds.
Accordingly, the course balances practical skills with theoretical underpinnings, ethics and creative speculation. All studio subjects are project based and rely on professional practice in their requirements, giving students the capacity to handle the expectations of professional life.
This degree equips graduates to engage in the broad, international scope of photographic careers. Students graduate with skills of self-reflection in their practice, critical engagement with and responses to social and cultural issues, and a broad understanding of research practices.
Students also gain an understanding of new technologies for image and sound production, and new ways of approaching media in the environment. They also learn a different language and culture and travel overseas.
