Hi all,

I've been looking at either a HND or degree in photography, however, I am 28, need to work full time and don't fancy doing a 4-5 year part time course.

Anyone know if its possible to do these courses in a shorter time spam and how you'd go about it?
 
my course is classed as full time but is only 2 days a week, I work full time and its a 2 year course, foundation degree.
 
Some colleges do it as a 1 day a week, 2 year course but not sure about any in your area.
 
Hi, I'm doing the HNC and its full time :lol:

I'm scheduled to be in 2 1/2 days a week. So it may be possible for you to work round that?
 
I went in 1 day aweek but had to do all the extras over the week.

It was the best course ever.

Not sure what yours entails. But the one I did was structured in a way that you were a working photographer.

you had every subject that you could think of. Fashion/sport/Portraiture/Architechture/etc

you had to choose three subjects from the huge list and use them in each medium.

35mm film/Medium format/ 5x4or10x8 neg/tranny.
you had to price each job as if it were for a client. And write about what was sourced and how you went about it.

Really good insight.

As to many courses I looked at were arty farty and showed no part the business side of things.

And running the business side is what can make or break you in the early days. Not how good a tog you are.

It was agood course.
 
Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback.

I've contacted 2 local uni's (staffs & wolvo) regarding a degree/HND in photography, although according to UCAS the date for applying for sept 2010 was the 15th Jan :S

Just waiting for a response from them before I decide on anything, I then need to figure out how to apply, if I can apply and how much its going to cost.
 
For arts degrees the UCAS deadline is 24th March (This gives you a little more time to get a portfolio together for any interview you may have)

This may or may not apply, depending on the courses you're looking at.

Not all courses are the 24th march, because of snow the 15th jan deadline was extended to THIS FRIDAY midnight (iirc), so act very fast if you are going this route!
