Photography & Society educates socially-engaged photographers of the 21^st century, who possess an active interest in the technological, political, environmental and social role of the photograph. The core of Photography & Society is image-making, at the same time the programme challenges students to foster encounters beyond photographic practice and utilize photography as a means to take part in global debate.

Photography & Society students are educated to master the full distribution chain, seamlessly moving from concept to making work and its presentation in various, often novel, forms. Collaboration, Research and Impact are the fundamental values of Photography & Society.

Situated in The Hague, Photography & Society shares close proximity to major civic and corporate players of global, national and local organizations, providing challenging opportunities for collaborations. A unique partnership with Leiden University provides a deep research base.

The course is conducted in English.
