"The course is good at Newport :)

last year the course leader was rubbish and tried to focus more on fine art / portraiture than fashion and advertising but this year he's now teaching art foundation and we have one of the advertising design teachers running the course so it seems a lot better.

I only went back this week so i'm still settling in to second year but I would definately recommend it. The facilities are amazing - dark room, colour dark room, studios etc and the new teachers are also really good.

first year is a bit dull as it's going over a lot of what I knew from Long Road and basic stuff but this year does look really good.

I'm friends with a lot of the Photographic Art students too and their course looks really good - lots of experimental work."

"I'm doing doc. phot. at newport as you know. enjoyed my first year a lot. worked with the south wales fire service and a number of museums around the country to make work (none of which is online) Very independent work ethic and great resources. About to start conceptual modules in second year, strong on history and theory too, lectures, essays, dissertations etc. Lecture series: david hurn, stephen gill, raimond wouda, broomberg and chanarin, martin parr, anna fox, helen sear, mark durden, ian walker etc etc. It has totally changed my conception of what photography is and can be."

"After completing my ND at Huntingdon I went on to do a Degree at Anglia Ruskin. I can't say much for the University itself but what I will say is that there are a couple of quality staff there in the Photography dept. Kerstin Hacker is awesome, she is a documentary photographer aswell as the Course Leader. There is also Hag who is an amazing film photographer. I am currently studying Photography at the London College of Communication, I'm only in my second week but have high hopes, so would definately recommend it."

"Have known many students do photography at Bournemouth and Nottingham and have had really good feed back from both, Leeds Met don't do photography any more. If any one applies to do photography at Hull make sure they choose the Harrogate Campus."
