About the Course______________________________________________________________________

The UAL Level 3 Diploma and Extended Diploma in Photography are awarded by the University of the Arts London. UAL is the largest provider of arts, design, fashion, and communication education in Europe. The qualification is highly regarded in the arts world, and is specially designed to provide you with an education that will enable you to progress successfully in the creative sector.

The course is broken up into 2 years; the first year forming the foundation of your learning and a general introduction to photography. The second year is focused on building a strong, creative, unique and individual portfolio. The second year of your course is also focused on university applications and interview preparation.
