Highlight — UKZN Workshop

This video reflects on a photography workshop as a powerful example of Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) and the value of bringing industry experts into the academic space.

It explores how authentic engagement with professional photographers enriches student learning by bridging theory and practice, exposing students to current industry standards, creative workflows, and professional expectations. Through this collaboration, the workshop demonstrates UKZN's commitment to experiential learning, industry partnerships, and preparing graduates who are confident, competent, and ready to contribute to the creative screen industries.

Highlight — version two

Learning extends beyond the classroom. This photography workshop demonstrates that the most meaningful learning occurs when students collaborate with industry professionals, embrace creative challenges, and enjoy the process.

In the Video Production course, our idea of fun is creating — capturing moments, telling stories, and producing visual content that informs, inspires, and connects people.
