The Master's degree programme in Photography provides critical perspectives on photography and new visual media. You will acquire the tools to take a critical look at your own work and that of your colleagues. At the same time, you will look at the outside world, the professional world of image makers and the historical roots of the medium of the image. The programme offers enough space and flexibility to refine your own photographic orientation and artistic practice.
The M.A. Photography prepares you for immediate entry into the diverse visual arts industry. This could mean working as an independent artistic or applied photographer, picture editor, art buyer or art director, for example. Due to the theoretical focus of the programme, you will also be able to pursue a career as a curator for museums and galleries. The international Master of Arts degree also enables you to pursue an academic career, including a doctorate and post-doctorate.
Supervised by SRH lecturer Harshini Karunaratne and the TimeLab team, our Master's students were able to demonstrate their visual storytelling skills at the ‘Symposium for New Media and Electronic Art’.
The event at the Alte Münze in Berlin gave them an excellent opportunity to familiarise themselves with Berlin's extensive creative scene.
The artists and art enthusiasts experienced a unique location where they could take part in creative shows, performances and workshops that also made use of innovative technologies.
The Master's degree programme in Photography offers a comprehensive education in photography that combines practical and theoretical components. Students develop individual photographic practices, analyse images, study the history and theory of photography and present their own projects.

24AD2186 revolves around the total solar eclipse that will take place on 16 July 2186 - the longest total solar eclipse between the Neolithic period and the year 6000 (CE). The project discusses the mass psychological effects of observing a total solar eclipse and integrates the cognitive shift that occurs, which has now been proven by initial studies conducted a few months ago.
When observing a total solar eclipse, a so-called self-transcendental state can be experienced, through which the observers perceive themselves physically and psychologically less as individuals and identify more strongly with a collective and their environment. The effects are increased prosocial behaviour, collectively oriented thinking and a feeling of connectedness.
