To be honest, it all depends on where you study. At the moment i am learning about light and how to use it creatively. But you learn all types of stuff from how colours work together to the history of photography. As for a camera, a great starting DSLR is a Nikon D40, they arnt too expensive but they have to be one of the best starter DLSR's I hope this helps you And good luck if you decide to do it
