This week on the pod we are delighted to be joined by Jim Campbell. Jim is the course leader of the BA photography degree at University of West of England Bristol (UWE). Jim talks us through the course specifically, but we also discuss the wider topics of further education in the photography world, what people can expect to take away from such courses, how we can take lessons from this and apply them to our own practices.
