Media and Photography

Is there a place where I can work on my Media and Photography projects outside of lecture times?

Yes, we have ample room in our light and airy studios, as well as materials and specialist tools that you will find useful to develop your Media and Photography work. Some studio facilities for Media and Photography are open-access, meaning that you can make use of the facilities outside of your timetabled class times for independent study. The facilities and availability will be outlined by your Programme Leader at your induction. Some creative technology facilities are open from 8am - 9pm, so you can work at the times that suit you. We also have a developers suite within the library which is only for use by students on courses in Creative Technologies, and this is open 24/7.

The library or Social Learning Zone (SLZ) are usually available to work on research or academic writing, however, access is limited due to COVID-19. There are a wide range of digital resources and journals available via Moodle and your student portal. For recommendations please see your recommended reading list.

If you have any other enquiries relating to this you can contact the Media and Photography Team to discuss, their contact details can be found at the bottom of the specific course page by searching the Media and Photography subject area.

You can also chat with our staff directly every Wednesday from 2 pm - 4 pm and periodically throughout the working week.

Alternatively, chat with our current students who will be able to share this information with you and any other course-related queries.

Or book onto one of our Open Days or Course Advice Days to find out more and speak with the team.

At the University of Bolton, we understand our students have different requirements and we pride ourselves on the positive and supportive learning environment we provide.
