Welcome to Photography Arts MA
Welcome to the Photography Arts MA programme (MAPA) and to Westminster School of Arts. Congratulations on your place on the programme, we are all looking forward to meeting you on Wednesday 19 January 2022 at 1pm at Harrow Campus.
We will talk through the structure of the course and the programme and you can ask any questions you may have. You probably want to get going straight away but this is also good opportunity to take time to become familiar with the campus, our facilities and meet each other in person. Please see details below in the Arrivals Timetable.
In the meantime, if you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
