    hey all,
    is there anyone out there who can tell me of anywhere that i can go back to do a masters in photography.
    essentially i would like go back to do a masters on my experiance alone rather than the more convential method of having to get a degree first and then continue.
    any help on this matter would be greatly appriciated.
    yours sincerely

    If you were willing to travel, I was looking at a few over in the UK recently and some seem pretty good and in good locations. and in some places it seems actually doing a masters and living on the college campus is cheaper than the degree course I'm doing in Dublin...

    I think you'll need to have a Degree in a related area like Visual Arts or Communications first, you don't necessarily have to have a BA in Photography but it would help...

    I'm doing a BA in photography... a masters in it... i dont know if you could do a masters in it... photography... as it is can be studied as a dip, the BA is a huge amount of fine art element. a masters in fine art with a focus on photography would be more logical

    Have you tired any of the colleges in London? I think westminster application for some courses has passed but the LCC seems to be in a few weeks.
    Both were recommended to me and seem to be respected masters courses.

    Also isn't there a place in Wales? can't think of the name sorry
