Combining Creativity & Education Since 1973
The Department of Photography under the Faculty of Art & Design UiTM has been in operation since the year 1973 on the Shah Alam campus. The department runs a two-year diploma program (Diploma in Photography), and later in the year 1978, the program was extended to a three-year course to further enhance students' competence and technical skill. The diploma program name was later changed to “Diploma in Photography and Creative Imaging” in the year 1999.
Bachelor Degree (Hons)
In the year 1999, the department further marks another achievement as UiTM was the first university to offer a degree program in the area of photography, under the program name “Bachelor of Photography and Creative Imaging (HONS)”. The department since then has produced professionals in the area of commercial, journalism, and art photography.
Academic Continuous Quality Improvement
The department had taken proactive measures in making sure students do not miss out on the current trends and technology in photography. The curriculum review in the year 2009 has transformed the department to better equip students with understanding and technical skills in the digital era. The program now has been renamed and is currently known as “Bachelor of Creative Photomedia (Hons)”. Continuous quality improvement of the curriculum is the top-most priority among academic members.
