Role Overview

CEG Digital wishes to engage the services of a self-employed contractor as an Online Tutor for our MA Photography course run in partnership with Arts University Bournemouth. We are looking for candidates with professional experience in the field of photography, experience of teaching at higher education level (including marking) and a master’s or PhD qualification in a discipline focusing on photography to join this level 7 programme.

The Online Tutor plays a pivotal role in the success and vibrancy of the University’s online courses and are a consistent weekly presence in the modules to which they are assigned. They are usually the first point of contact for academic queries from students. Each Online Tutor will have a group of up to 30 students. During a typical week, the Online Tutor will lead a 1-hour online seminar, engage with students through various asynchronous online activities, and respond to and triage student queries. Online Tutors also first-mark summative assessments in-line with the University’s assessment regulations.

This is a flexible, part-time, role. Note that there will be key dates and contact points you will be required to adhere to which are driven by assessment dates in the course calendar. Full details will be provided prior to the start of the module.

The Course

The online MA Photography course at Arts University Bournemouth is a part-time flexible course that integrates practice and theory through intensive online study. The course offers students an opportunity to develop and realise their creative ambitions while exploring new approaches in the context of an international learning community that foregrounds peer feedback and research driven experimentation. 

The course recognises and celebrates an expansive and progressive understanding and definition of photography, its audiences and the sites and contexts in which it can be presented. Students may concentrate on the creation of (including but not exclusively) documentary, fashion, street, still life, landscape or fine art or other works that emphasise innovation and a commitment to examining form and content.

Students may join the course as an active professional and/or photography graduate seeking to expand their practice through flexible part-time study. Or they may arrive as a graduate from adjacent subject areas including animation, film, fine art, or media amongst others. Regardless of their background, students might already be using photography within their creative practice and able to demonstrate a clear rationale for doing so.
