  • Objectives
    The course aims to build on existing skills and knowledge; improve the quality of your practical work; further develop use of a personal visual language; support students in designing and completing an extended programme of work.
  • Course description
    This is a personalised learning programme in which you develop your own style in a genre of your choice. We provide you with a course framework and you use this to work with your tutor in devising your own study programme and projects. You will be encouraged to develop a high degree of self-motivation and autonomy and you are expected to explore issues of content and style and the technical and philosophical issues connected with your work. Level 3 study requires a significant development from Level 2. We therefore recommend completing one of our Level 2 courses before embarking on Photography 3: Advanced, but direct entry is possible for experienced photographers who want to work on a one-to-one basis with a professional tutor. All students choose their own tutor from the OCA portfolio of advanced photography tutors.

        * Design an extended programme of personal study in discussion with your tutor
        * Produce a strong portfolio of photography in your chosen genre
        * Carry out appropriate research
        * Read extensively in your genre
        * Complete an extended written assignment (5,000 words).
