One of the reasons i chose to begin looking into this course was because i think that one of my main interests is definitely in photography, i've been experimenting with photography for a number of years as well as using new digital and old film techniques. However one area i really would like to have focused on in photography is wildlife as i spend most of my free time already developing in these areas. I feel i would enjoy this work a lot more as this is the kinda of work i already focus myself in, compared to commercial photography. However much i would also enjoy taking on that course as it would be a new area to develop in.

When looking on the website i fount out that the entry requirements for this course would be 220 ucas points which would approximately work out to a pass-pass-merit grading. (?)
