Admissions 2.7 Minimum Academic Qualifications The normal minimum qualifications entitling an applicant to be considered for admission to the course are as outlined in the University of Westminster’s Undergraduate Prospectus. (i) (ii) (iii) Five passes in the Ordinary Level General Certificate of Education (GCE) or five passes at grades A, B or C in the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) AND at least two passes at GCE Advanced Level. These should include passes in Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry (or Mathematics and Integrated Sciences), of which at least one must be at Advanced level, or An appropriate Certificate or Diploma for successful completion of an approved foundation or access course, or Other equivalent qualification. All applicants are required to demonstrate a good command of written and spoken English. Applicants whose first language is not English will be required to present evidence of having attained a proficiency level of 6.5 in International English Language Testing Service (IELTS) or 6.0 in Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). In cases where remedial study in English is required, successful applicants may be required to take the University’s module: English for Academic Purposes as a condition of the offer of a place on the course. In the case of mature students with appropriate learning or experiential learning (e.g. work experience) see the next section on students without formal entrance requirements and for information about Assessment of Prior Learning (APL) and Assessment of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL). 2.8 Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) / Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL). The University operates a system of awarding credit for prior learning, either accredited (APL) or experiential (APEL), which may contribute up to a maximum of 50% of the credits required for an award. If students think their prior experiential learning (e.g. work experience) or accredited learning (e.g. other study they may have undertaken) may qualify them for accreditation and thereby exemption from one or more modules they should contact their Course Leader. In respect of accredited prior learning, the student will be required to submit specific evidence (such as original transcripts and syllabuses) which will be considered by the Course Leader, or their nominee. In respect of prior experiential learning the Course Leader will either allocate the student with a Mentor, or will perform this role themselves. The Mentor will assist the student in making their claim and will then pass it, together with their assessment of it, to a second assessor who will be a member of the Course Team, for an independent assessment. Once the second assessment has been made, the assessors make a joint agreed report to the AP(E)L Assessment Board. The Board normally comprises of the Course Leader, Chair of the Subject Board and one other member of the Course Team drawn from within the School and meets in each semester. It is the Board which makes the final assessment of what credit, if any, should be awarded to the student in respect of prior experiential learning. Any credit awarded for prior certificated or experiential learning will be notified to the Conferment Board. Until a student who has applied for APL/APEL has been formally advised of the outcome of their application for credit, they should register for and participate in their normal module load, including any modules for which they are seeking credit. For further details, please refer to the full regulations governing AP(E)L, which appear in Section 4 of the Handbook of Academic Regulations. DPI_Hbook 10 ©University of Westminster
3. Learning Outcomes 3.1 Year One The first year of the course aims to provide a thorough grounding in relevant science and mathematics, fundamental theories of photographic science, an introduction to experimental methods in the evaluation of images and imaging systems, practical skills in the use of a range of imaging systems and media, including photography and applied imaging applications, and transferable skills in communication, relevant computing and software, and study skills. The majority of modules in this year are core, ensuring that all students have a strong foundation in the fundamental knowledge and skills required to progress to the next level. Year One Learning Outcomes At the end of Year One, it is expected that students will be able to: Demonstrate Knowledge and Understanding in: • Photography and photographic practice (including digital techniques). • Image capture. Light Sources, filters and lighting. Exposure and the latent image. Camera Formats. • Fundamental theories of photographic science including the fundamental properties of both analogue and digital images and imaging systems • Scientific principles of human visual system, visual perception, principles of geometrical, physical and visual optics. • Simple wave and quantum properties of radiation and light. • Structure of Photographic materials. Spectral Sensitisation. Chemistry of the photographic process. Principles of the charge-coupled-device. • Relevant science and mathematics. • The principles of a range of techniques in applied imaging. • The significance of linear and non-linear systems in imaging chains. • The basic relationships between image properties and the physical processes producing the image. Cognitive and Intellectual Skills • Analyse the formation of images in compound optical systems. • Employ the basic methods of geometrical constructs and ray tracing in studying image formation in optical systems. • Relate aspects of image quality to measurable properties and measure simple aspects of objective image quality. • Employ a scientific approach to problems. • Understand the consequences of the relative performances of different systems and devices. • Select and critically evaluate images. Practical Skills • Acquire and process images using a wide variety of contemporary imaging systems. • Correctly expose and process a variety of different image formats. • Use a range of camera formats and equipment. • Print in black and white. • Demonstrate effective use and control of flash lighting. • Determine the optimum imaging systems to use for a specific application. • Measure and interpret the input-output relationships for a variety of imaging processes. • Apply acquired technical skills to creative ends.
