Overview

The core of the Photography program from RMIT University is image-making, and how it is used in our contemporary visual culture. We approach photography in its broadest arena and encourage you to lead the way in challenging the medium technically, conceptually and theoretically, questioning the role of this discipline today.

During the Master of Photography you will experiment and create, research and reflect within the context of studio-based group learning and independent projects. We encourage you to explore photography through traditional, digital and expanded forms. During your studies you will develop your own projects and form your vision, propelled towards your future professional context. At RMIT we support you to decide how you want to engage with photography, creating new, meaningful work.

Through your studies you will continuously develop your technical, research and practical skills, mastering your own process and learning from your peers. You will engage with professional development opportunities, industry leaders, guest speakers and review sessions that prepare you for presentation, publication, research or commercial markets.

The Master of Photography inspires a dynamic and progressive attitude towards the medium. We aim to create photographers who are individual, autonomous and socially engaged, ready to lead what photography can be into the future.
