Photography

We are a top 2 UK university for Film Production & Photography The Guardian University Guide 2025

At Edinburgh Napier University we teach to a high technical standard, facilitating the translation of ideas through the art and craft of photography.

The BA (Hons) Photography is industry facing and provides the professional, technical, contextual and creative skills necessary for a career as a photographer.

You'll be encouraged to think critically and creatively, developing your skills so that you are able to convey your ideas through your practice.

As you progress you'll increasingly define your own area of study. By identifying and working to your strengths, you'll develop an individual creative practice so that by graduation you'll be capable of a high standard of creative output.

The course has recently moved to a newly-built specialist photography facility, which includes five fully-equipped photography studios, a black and white darkroom, dry to dry colour film processor, high-end professional digital scanners and printers, portable photography lighting and a large range of analogue and digital cameras and camera equipment.
