HND Photography
Overview
Are you serious about becoming a professional photographer? The HND course takes the knowledge you have already gained in previous studies and allows you to develop the relevant skills for you to move onto the next stage of study or career. Your year will have a specific focus on practical, project-based work where you determine the brief. You will have creative control over the scope of your work and be supported by an experienced team of lecturers. You will also learn how to promote your work through the use of an online blog, in person networking and social media.
Your time at New College Lanarkshire will culminate in an exhibition which will be curated and installed by you. This showcase is attended annually by hundreds of people.
