The accredited Advanced Diploma of Photography course with specialization studies in commercial photography, art photography or photojournalism, is unique to PSC.  This course has been specifically written and designed to produce contemporary professional photographers and image makers who are prepared for a career in one of the many sectors of the photographic industry.   The qualification can be achieved in either three years of full time study or a minimum of four years of part time study.

At PSC photography has always been a passion, a way of communicating and a way to keep memory alive; it has been about developing a vision and it has always been a profound way of having something powerful to say. This philosophy and imaginative vision underwrites all aspects of PSC.

By studying at PSC you will become part of a college that has been at the forefront of educational photographic practice for over 36 years. Everyday in your course you will mix with a diverse group of creative students and be taught by a group of talented professionals from the image making industry; a team that has a great deal of industry experience, diversity and expertise to challenge and inspire you.

During the course you will learn creative contemporary technique, solid photographic craft and current digital technologies while being encouraged to move beyond your comfort zone, to develop and refine your own vision, your own way of seeing; to make photographs, not just take photographs.
