For a number of years we have been running the DPU Photography Competition for students. The photographs are meant to encapsulate through imagery some of the key DPU themes, and provide students with the chance to share their field trip experiences with a wider community, and to communicate their reflections.
Discover the DPU70 Photography Competition
This special DPU70 edition of our photography competition will showcase the engagement of the DPU student community with their practice engagements, both overseas and in the UK, sharing their images and reflections with a wider audience in the Urban Space at UCL Here East.
