The University of Cumbria's foundation course will give students a strong grounding to experience life through the camera lens to advance their studies to degree level.
Students will learn all the essential photography basics - how to use a variety of cameras, both digital and film, how to make creative images, work in a studio and on location, and how to print students' photos to a high standard.
In addition, students will explore historical and contemporary photographers and images to encourage them to develop their own style and flourish as a photographer ready for year one of the degree course.
Former students have gone into a range of photographic careers, become freelance photographers, curators and editors and some have secured solo exhibitions in art galleries just months after graduating.
