Introduction
This programme equips students with a comprehensive knowledge of photographic or imaging processes, materials and apparatus, through hands-on experience in the field, studio or on professional assignment.
Admission requirements
(Please note that these are the specific programme admission requirements – the university has its own minimum admission requirements.)
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Only after successfully completing the Introductory Studies programme are students considered for placement in the diploma programme.
The student must attend an interview and submit a portfolio of relevant first-year work appropriate to their proposed area of specialization. A challenge test may also be required to finalise the selection process. Admission to the student’s desired area of specialisation is not guaranteed and it is therefore recommended that students interview for more than one area of specialization.
