Graduate quote

Josie Slade

“The best thing about this course is the independence you get. It’s so free, which is really important on a creative course like this. You get regular one-to-ones with tutors, in the office, or over a coffee – it’s really relaxed.

“I’d say that’s the best thing about this course is the staff. The tutors are friends! They exhibit too, so you know you’re in good hands.

“Another good feature of this course is that you get visiting speakers. People from the industry that really know what they’re talking about, like Richard Billingham. You can put your name down to have a proper tutorial with them too.

“In fact, one of the visiting speakers we had while I was studying invited us to see them at work in New York! That was a great trip. We went to galleries and private views, but the best aspect was enjoying time with my course-mates in the city. Of course university life has its ups and downs... balancing time and money. But you’d get that anywhere. So I’d say if you like being spontaneous and want to work in a really free, encouraging environment, you’d enjoy the BA (Hons) Photography course.”
