At Brighton we bring innovative creative practice in the field of media arts and technology through PMIS, a gathering of degrees across Photography, Moving Image, and in Digital Music and Sound Art.

These courses are committed to providing a rich experimental context for cutting edge work in these closely related fields. Students are encouraged to work both digitally and with more traditional analogue technologies such as black and white photography and 16mm film, and to experiment with preparing work for audiences both within and beyond the gallery.

We want our graduates to be independent creative practitioners who also have the technical skills and conceptual agility to communicate to a wide range of audiences in many different contexts. Some shared elements in the programme are designed to encourage collaboration across the different areas and a rich staff research culture, much of it interdisciplinary, underpins the teaching.
