Photography at Deakin is focused on creative, critical or professional practice, giving students the opportunity to develop their artistic, academic or professional aspirations.
Photography is taught at Deakin's Melbourne campus at Burwood, a friendly, and thriving student environment with a strong community feeling.
Students develop practical skills in a range of professional analog and digital photographic formats, darkroom and studio environments as well as the application of photographic imagery in virtual and collaborative environments at a global level.
Students are strongly encouraged to experiment, research and develop their own conceptual and aesthetic sensibilities. The work undertaken at third-year level this is applicable to exhibition, installation, multimedia, and collaborative productions and provides a strong basis for further postgraduate studies and professional practice.
