description
The Degree in Photography exists since 2007. Throughout these years we have been proving that Photography, although suffering from a paradigm shift triggered by technological evolution, continues to manifest itself as an increasingly broad field of creation and thought.
Never have so many photographs been made since the invention of photography. This fact per se confirms the need for a course that teaches how to make, think and create Photography, that promotes the formation of technologically educated citizens who orient themselves in this photographic world, that founds through Photography an understanding of contemporaneity.
Through a comprehensive teaching that refuses to be held hostage to old dialectical discussions (digital vs. analog; color vs. black and white; documentary vs. conceptual; professional vs. artistic; etc.) empty of meaning, the Photography degree offers an innovative and committed teaching focused on the creation of technical, artistic and creative exploration skills.
Supported by technical conditions, professional equipment and a dynamic environment, our degree is founded on the dedication and commitment of its professors and asks from its students an equal dedication and commitment.
Integrated in DCAM – Department of Cinema and Media Arts, our bachelor’s degree is part of a set of areas of knowledge that define a territory of contemporary creation and technology. Our students become part of this whole and benefit from an energetic, creative and multidisciplinary environment.
