Course details
The Second Year QQI Level 6 programme is designed to provide an advanced understanding of the photographic medium. Students progress through a series of workshops and lectures aimed at increasing their perceptive awareness which culminates in the individuals ability to apply advanced techniques to concept thereby producing visually successful and articulate work. This educational process also prepares future photographers to eloquently express their work practice when necessary. Upon completion of the Level 6 programme students gain considerable experience by organising a professional Graduate Exhibition at a recognised city centre venue.
