To ensure everyone is working from the same pool of approved images, the image library has been uploaded to Flickr. We recommend only downloading the images you want to use rather than the whole image library at once.

Copyright is now an unavoidable and important aspect of university life.
Our copyright support service will help you navigate your way through copyright law so that you can:
