Why study BA Photography at Middlesex University?

Our students are given the tools, opportunities and inspiration to explore the world we live in now, investigating the communication of ideas, opinion, comment, reportage, analysis and meaning through the medium of photography in a commercial context. We focus on editorial photography, photojournalism, portraiture and studio and fashion photography for magazines, newspapers, books, exhibitions and new media.

Many Middlesex photography graduates have received industry recognition for their work. In recent years this has included several D&AD New Blood Gold Medal Winners, four finalists for the National Portrait Gallery Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize and a national advertising commission from one of the worlds leading advertising agencies, John Walter Thompson.
