ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The photo-video course is very successful in placing students on both degree and
HND courses throughout the country. Emphasis is on students producing a
coherent body of work through the production of a portfolio. It is a general
course which includes tape-slide work. We already have some students from Europe
and would be interested in making formal links with photography departments
overseas with a view to joint projects and exchange of both staff and students.
