Using Images or Film

Using Images and Images

You may be asked to include images or film in your assignments or projects.

It is important to understand that, unless explicitly stated, any image or film you find or can access on the internet should be considered protected under copyright law.

What images can you use?

If you want to use images or film and plan on sharing your work outside of your course, you must be able to demonstrate that they are not protected under copyright law, are accessible through Creative Commons, or owned by you.

For work only submitted as part of your course (not shared with outside parties) you may be able to use images/film found on the internet through fair dealing. However, you must provide an accurate attribution of the work as well as a reference. For further guidance on fair dealing, please consult your tutor or seek local campus support.

All students are expected to comply with copyright legislation and could be sued for distributing third-party copyrighted materials. Clear explanation of the requirements of copyright law, and good academic practice, including plagiarism, is covered in our Assignment Toolkit.

Please take a look at our Copyright Guide if you would like further information.
