Student Experience
I am learning to work as a professional.
"The Photography program at AUArts takes a hands-on approach to teaching students the technique, aesthetics and conceptualization skills needed to create a cohesive body of work that establishes our personal signature in every image. The courses are taught by working photographers. This gives us a real world perspective as they are guided in their investigations and development of in Art and Commercial practices." - Shuo Li, 3rd year Photography major
The instructors have incredible insight.

AUArts offers so many opportunities that are just waiting for you to take advantage of and these have really progressed my practice.
