Courses accredited by the AOP - process and procedure (click to unfold)

Listing of courses accredited by the AOP

The Association has a number of accredited courses run by a number of colleges/universities across the UK, a list of which is below.

Clicking on each box opens up to show the course(s) at an institution that have been accredited. Each link takes you direct to the college/university website.

Where a course is accredited it has been assessed by us as meeting the relevant criteria in terms of reinforcing best practice and incorporating key elements of Beyond The Lens.

There are a lot of colleges/universities around the UK offering photography courses. All college/university courses accredited by the AOP have a fair student copyright policy, which means you own the copyright to your own work and if the college/university wants to use one or more of your images, then the image(s) is licenced from you. Please be aware not all colleges/universities operate this policy and the AOP considers this extremely bad practice.

We cannot state strongly enough that before making a decision about which college/university to study at, you consider the value and importance of your copyright. Start as you mean to go on.
