Programme Overview
Established in 1982 ,the Fine Art Photography programme was the first of its kind in Europe to award a degree in Fine Art Photography. The programme is unusual within photographic education as it offers the opportunity to study photography as a specialist medium specifically within the context of contemporary fine art practice. It is a studio-based programme that places a strong emphasis on making, and encourages diverse and expansive approaches to the creation of photographic art, including the moving image. Given the prevalence of photography in our culture, the programme aims to offer a critical platform from which fundamental questions about the nature of the photograph can be proposed and discussed. All GSA degree programmes are validated by the University of Glasgow.
