About the course

This major gives you the opportunity to develop your creative skills and explore pathways to careers in our ever-increasing visual world. The course examines the interchanges between design, editorial and fine art photography. This approach will enable you to develop your own practice to a standard of excellence across multiple platforms.

　　You’ll study histories and theories of photography and explore experimental approaches to the medium through lectures, tutorials, studio workshops and gallery visits. Throughout your course you’ll learn through project-based activities and collaboration with students from other disciplines – mirroring a true industry environment.

　　As a Curtin student, you’ll also benefit from the University’s links with industry and major cultural institutions. The range of work-integrated learning opportunities available means that you can expect to graduate ready for successful photographic practice in diverse industries.

　　Photography is offered as part of the Bachelor of Design. You will be able to enhance your degree by selecting to study either two additional minors or one minor and four elective units to support your career goals.

　　This major is supported across a range of industries, with our graduates securing roles in fine art, editorial, documentary, advertising and studio-based photography fields.

　　You will work on real briefs and develop your portfolio while you study. The high standing of our course is supported by affiliations with local, national and international photographic industry bodies.

　　Student engagement with institutions such as the Perth Centre for Photography, Australian Centre for Photography and The National Portrait Gallery is actively encouraged and promoted. Throughout the three-year program, you’ll learn through project-based activities, and be given the opportunity to work with students from other disciplines, as in real industry environments.
