Swansea University is a place which I had looked at during the UCAS event in London which I showed interest in and also, I have a friend who goes there who studies Photography.
They have a BA (Hons) Photojournalism course at the University which is a four year programme. It allows you to report, tell stories and describe. The use of documentary skills are often seen in advertising, corporate, fashion and travel photography.
Another course I had looked at was a Digital Filmmaking course which emphasises technical skills, critical awareness and creative vision whilst receiving lots of training and guidance.
The open days for Swansea University start in October.
The Photography in the Arts course encourages you to pursue your personal interests and individual pathways throughout the course, in order to develop unique visual photographic signature. The atmosphere is friendly and they have small class sizes which allows good student and staff interaction and communication. They allow regular workshops and outstanding facilities allowing you to explore ideas and develop skills applicable to contexts such as contemporary art, publishing, advertising, fashion, interiors, architecture and travel.
