Are these diplomas open to commerce and arts students?

How does a degree compare to a diploma in the photography field?

Can I work abroad after this diploma?

Yes, your portfolio matters most; many students continue studying abroad, too.

Do I need professional equipment before starting the diploma?

No, most institutes provide access to cameras and editing software during the course. However, owning a basic DSLR can help you practice more outside of class hours.

Is it possible to build a successful career with only a diploma in photography?

Yes, many photographers start their careers right after completing a diploma.
