课程特征 Course Features：
In its extended full-time mode MA Photography gives you the flexibility to access London's richly varied opportunities for work and study while maximising your personal and professional development.
MA Photography supports and is shaped by:
•Challenging and provocative work across traditional and new technologies within photography, printmaking, moving image and communication or networking media, capitalising on the close links between these areas that will be a feature of CSM at King's Cross
•The development of individual ways of seeing and realising creative intentions
•Analysis, critical debate and the development of a personal position regarding the ethical and social responsibilities of the photographer
•The assertion of the contemporary identity of photography in close, critical and dynamic relation to art and design as disciplinary and professional arenas
课程内容 Course Content ：
MA Photography lasts 60 weeks structured as two consecutive periods of 30 weeks each (i.e. two academic years) in its 'extended full-time mode.'
MA Photography is credit rated at 180 credits, and comprises 3 units. Unit 1 (40 credits) and Unit 2 (20 credits) run concurrently and last 15 weeks. Unit 3 (120 credits) follows after the completion of Units 1 and 2 and runs for 45 weeks.
Students successfully achieving Units 1 and 2 may exit at this point with the award of Postgraduate Certificate.
In year one we expect you to commit an average of 40 hours per week. In year two your study is predominantly self-managed but we expect you to commit an average of 20 hours per week. Across the two years, therefore, you're expected to commit an average of 30 hours per week.
Unit 1 - Practice and Context
This unit offers a choice of directed project briefs and a lecture/seminar programme designed to explore elements and genres of photography in an experimental way. Directed projects arise from themes including the archive, the photographic gaze, the staged image, representation and colonialism, spectacle, identity and gender, self-representation, the photographic image in digital culture, contexts and audience.
Unit 2 - Thinking as Practice (Research Methodologies 1):
Unit 2 introduces the fundamental research skills that enable you to make informed decisions about appropriate methods to use in your chosen area of study and your professional future. The unit examines specific research skills and different kinds of research. Skills and knowledge areas covered include interviewing, literature search and review, archival skills, software for use in research and e-resources, feasibility studies, data analysis, referencing, citation and bibliographic conventions, and ethics. Seminars and workshops emphasise participation and the building of core research skills through practical exercises and small group projects.
Unit 3 - Independent Project
This unit has two parts. You'll undertake the first in the second half of year one and the second (more independently) in year two.
