Photography Studies College, commonly abbreviated to PSC, is a privately owned independent tertiary photography college located in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

History

1973 founding

Photography Studies College was first named the Gallery School of Photographic Art [1] when it was founded by Roger Hayne at its present address[2] in 1973,[3] through his business Impact Photography Pty. Ltd., 203 Canterbury Road, St Kilda.[1] Previously a publicity officer for the Victorian Railways he had later worked with the Australian Antarctic Division,[4] and advertised himself as a 'former lecturer in photography at RMIT'. Hayne continued as director into the 1990s[5] and was joined by lecturers John Cato, Phillip Ashton and John Riches and by late 1977 there were 250 students enrolled.[6] By May 1978 the School advertised that its courses 'For a Professional Career' were recognised by the Australian Institute of Professional Photography.[7]

Name change

In July 1978 the name had been changed to 'Photography Studies College', and it advertised full-time and part-time courses in "Photojournalism, Expressive Art Photography, Advertising and Fashion Illustration, or Audio-Visual Production" with no formal academic qualifications required for entry in its mid-year intake. One of the College audio-visual productions of this period was 'A Taste of Life', a "sensitive illustration of life for the disabled" which was presented as part of the Moomba program of 1981.[8] An 'advertorial' in The Age newspaper in March 1983 promoted College courses in videography, announcing that "the video revolution is upon us".[9] Staff member Sue Scales, interviewed for a 1985 advertising feature emphasised the size of the photography industry with an Australian national annual turnover of $1376 million and noted that the College had a "faculty of nine full-time and part-time lecturers...drawn from both the profession and the arts."[10]

From April 1986,[11] Chief Executive Officer of PSC was Julie Moss, who continues in the position. She secured sponsorship from the firm Agfa-Gaevert which started in February 1989 to offer a part-scholarship for photographic materials to selected College students.[12] During the 1990s she established the first formal credit transfer arrangement between a private vocational college and a university, a move supported by Dr Robin Williams,[13] then Dean of RMIT. Up until 2013 (when PSC began to deliver its own Bachelor Degree course) the arrangement enabled PSC Advanced Diploma graduates to articulate into a Degree in Photography at RMIT,[14] and PSC became the first private Australian college authorised to provide photographic education to international students. Moss improved the professional viability of College courses by liaising with industry bodies[15] the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance and the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers to create key pathways into the industry including a mentoring program established in 1993.[14]

Present day

The school continues at its original location at 61-63 City Road and now also occupies adjoining buildings at 65–67 City Road, Southbank (previously South Melbourne). In 2013 PSC began offering a unique, fully accredited three-year Bachelor of Photography programme, and in 2018 PSC commenced delivery of a unique, fully accredited 18-month Master of Arts Photography programme, the first of its kind in Australia.[16] It is a dual sector provider of Higher Education and VET Programs, and is a fully accredited Higher Education provider and Registered Training Organisation. The College is a member of Independent Higher Education Australia.[17]
