Course CostsCamera: Students who do not own a digital SLR camera can borrow cameras from the department. However, we only have a small number so it cannot be guaranteed that a camera will be available 100% of the time.
Software: As students will be learning how to manipulate and enhance images using Photoshop and lightroom it is advisable (but not compulsory) for students to have these programmes on a home computer.
