Master Of Arts In Photography in University of Applied Sciences Europe (UE Berlin)

Technological developments mean that a photographer’s role within the arts and creative industries is constantly evolving. Your commitment to exploring new ideas and finding your own style is a key criteria for success in your photography studies. Our curriculum encourages you to explore the significance of the photographic medium within a cultural, political and social context, and to create your own images while interacting with current trends in art and design.

In a professional context, photography is now usually an evolving process: from the initial idea to the detailed concept, as well as the planning, organisation, realisation and final presentation. From fashion, portraits and still lifes to advertising and artistic photography, images are often staged rather than created spontaneously. By the time you graduate with a Master’s in Photography, you will have acquired the skills to think conceptually and to realise your ideas in artistic and practical projects using state-of-the-art technology.

Working during your study time

We do our best to ensure that you can fit your studies around your life. For this reason, lectures for master’s programmes generally take place three days per week. However, you will also need to plan time for preparation and follow-up work for your courses.

The programme - Interdisciplinary courses, projects and more

The objective of this master’s programme is to help you develop your own distinctive visual language, which you can apply to both your practical and artistic work. The core curriculum consists of two projects which students work on independently. The analysis of narrative perspectives and structures, and visual storytelling are key components of the programme. This enables students to consciously develop an ability to self-reflect as artists.

Our wide range of additional elective courses enable you to expand your knowledge of entrepreneurial strategies and curatorial practices.

In your third semester, you will complete a master’s thesis consisting of a photography project and an academic thesis on a subject of your choice.
