"I studied at Kingston for my undergraduate degree in photography and since then have worked for the Photography Department, so I knew exactly what the University had to offer, which was a big factor in my decision to study my masters degree here. I knew that whatever ideas I had, no matter how challenging, the facilities and passion of the staff would make it achievable.
The Photography MA course is young and the tutors are very keen to work with their students to make the course the best it can be. So it's an exciting time to be a part of it and help shape its future."
