This innovative degree is inspired by the important role played by St Andrews in the early history of the most influential visual medium of the modern era. Students are introduced to the theoretical and methodological challenges and debates that photography’s multiple functions and contexts have provoked since its invention. Classes make full use of the outstanding photographic collections of Special Collections, University Library and associated photographic archives. Small class sizes prioritise discussion with peers and interaction with the tutor. Students may apply to take part in exchange programmes at our partner institutions.
