Overview of the academic programme
Numerous students in programmes such as graphic design, fine arts, or even communications are attracted to photography, and all this while professional applications for photography are growing in number day by day. The arrival of digital photography has greatly modified the production and distribution of photographic images : fewer and fewer people use the 'old' photographic technology based on film and film development,(and, for example, printing prices are falling annually), but at the same time, the 'treatment' of photographic images is becoming more and more of a skill in demand. The number of images used in the print media or in advertising is constantly increasing and nearly all such images have been touched up. Today, the "photographer-graphic designer" has to prepare, touch up, and modify images in order to sell them. Career possibilities are numerous after having completed this highly specialised academic programme about learning how to touch up and transform photographic images in a general sense.
Classes are held three days per week, with lectures in the morings and laboratory work in the afternoons. Thus, the student has two free days per week, allowing those who wish or need to combine specialised studies with part-time work." /> Two sessions per year (each lasts 21 weeks): from October 2007 to February 2008 and from March 2008 to August 2008 (note: dates for the previous academic year).
