Summary
Have you ever wanted to work on nature documentaries? Are you looking to blend science and art? Do you understand the importance of an informed public?
In a fast-moving society, the professional image-maker, photographer, videographer, and imaging scientist, has a powerful role in the way science is communicated to the world. The professional imager is vital to modern research, science communication, commerce and industry.
Professionals in this field are key in communicating with the public, sharing scientific news, and affecting the collective consciousness. Without them, powerful exposés on the destruction of the environment, the eradication of species, and the impact of humanity on the world would not exist. Without these exposés, the public attitude toward climate change and environmental impact might not have begun to change.
The Biological Photography and Imaging MSc is ideal for students wishing to pursue a career in professional imaging. We bring together science, photography, business, web, video, design and writing to provide you with a dynamic set of skills making you attractive to employers.
The study programme incorporates the areas of:
- biological research and natural history
- photography and imaging (both industrial and media production)
- video making
- science communication
We also teach a module designed to help you start and market your own freelance imaging business after graduation.
