COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master’s degree program in Photography offers a comprehensive education that integrates both practical and theoretical components, providing students with a deep understanding of photography and its broader contextualisation. Throughout the program, students engage in various modules that emphasize the development of their individual photographic practices alongside rigorous methods of image analysis and an exploration of the history of photography. The curriculum is structured into phases, beginning with foundational laboratory courses and integrated practical projects designed to explore the medium of photography in depth. As students advance, they encounter specialized courses focusing on topics such as photography as an object, diverse printing techniques, and interdisciplinary approaches that highlight the evolving relationship between photography and space. A critical examination of contemporary photographic practices is central to the program, encouraging students to reflect on current trends and theoretical debates within the field. The theoretical component encompasses media and photographic theory, enriching students’ understanding of the cultural and intellectual contexts in which photography operates. Throughout their studies, students have numerous opportunities to develop and present their own projects, including through excursions and collaborative practical work, fostering an environment of experimentation and professional growth. The program culminates in a Master’s colloquium and the completion of a Master’s thesis, in which students synthesize their research findings and creative endeavors, demonstrating their ability to contribute original perspectives to the discipline. This holistic approach equips graduates with the skills and critical insight necessary to excel in various professional roles within the visual arts sector or to pursue further academic study.
