Photography

At the Belfast School of Art we strive to develop unique photographic voices at the cutting-edge of a contemporary international context, while also mining the specifics of our unique geographical and cultural position.

We have been profiled by the British Journal of Photography as one of the most significant photography schools in Europe. The teaching team is comprised of contemporary practising photographers who exhibit and publish internationally. These include Ailbhe Greaney, Ken Grant, Frederic Huska, Kevin Gaffney, Sandra Johnston and Clare Gallagher, as well as Martin Parr and Donovan Wylie.

Students are often photographers who continue careers with a newly refined expansion of their personal and professional practices. Alongside photographers working in the commercial fields of editorial and design, graduates also publish, exhibit and work as educators and developers of photographic culture.

The course is represented as a member of the Society for Photographic Education with a network of international partners in Europe and America.

Full time students must take three 10-credit modules and a research design workshop in the autumn trimester, and three 10-credit modules in the spring trimester. Students must also submit a thesis worth 30-credits or pursue an Internship instead during the summer trimester.
