	Photolink questionnaire
	Eighth Edition

About this questionnaire

The purpose of this questionnaire is to gather information about courses or programmes of study for photography, film and video production for the Photolink Educational Network. A course or programme is defined as a package of study leading to a particular qualification.

Which courses are included ?

Courses or programmes to be included are those where the practise of still photography, film or video production form the main part of the programme and whose aim is primarily to prepare students for a career in this area. All levels of study are included from post-graduate work to National Diplomas and AVCE/GNVQ Advanced courses (but only where studies in photography or video are available as a major component and would lead on to further specialist study.).

All correspondence concerned with this questionnaire should be sent to:

Dr. Ian R. Smith,
Photolink International,

Bishopstone,
Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, SP5 4DF.
