About the course
The BA (Photography) welcomes applications from creative people with a passion for the photographic medium, but it does not require you to be a good photographer to get into the course - we’ll teach you how to do that!
The School of Visual & Performing Arts, offers the Bachelor of Arts (Photography), a degree that gives students the opportunity to become a photographer with a wide range of practical skills in both digital and analogue photography. These skills are developed upon a critical understanding of photographic practice. The course utilises the University's high quality digital & analogue facilities and the significant professional expertise of the lecturers.
The course has a broad and balanced focus, allowing students to align their studies with a wide field of career aspirations in professional photographic practice. It allows the student to produce bodies of professional work that range from commercial, to documentary, to fine art or installation-based photography . It fosters the creative expression of ideas, and the development of technical skills that are usable in a wide variety of applied photographic contexts.
"The photography course at CSU is both innovative and stimulating. It has a hands-on approach to teaching students the skills necessary to survive in the industry - from the most basic analogue technology to the bee's knees of the digital world. The thing I love most about the course at CSU is that the teachers engage your imagination and inspire you to think outside of the box. The projects they give you are a lot of fun and they encourage you to capture the world in a unique way."

The BA (Photography) offers fully equipped photographic studios, as well as digital imaging computer labs and darkrooms, which are using up to date industry standard equipment and associated technologies.
Students can elect minor studies in increasingly related disciplines, such as Multimedia and Graphic Design, as well as from all other courses in the School of Visual & Performing Arts. Alternatively, the School offers 4-year double degree programs in Photography/Multimedia as well as Photography/Graphic Design.
Wagga Wagga is a city with all the diverse cultural and commercial infrastructures of any metropolitan city, only on a more human scale. Similarly, like other courses in the School of Visual & Performing Arts, the BA (Photography) is relatively accessible. This leads to a more interactive, and less alienating environment for students, where the staff are approachable, and interaction between students in related and converging fields is fostered.
