About Photography Schools Worldwide

What this is

Photography Schools Worldwide lists photography schools, art colleges, universities and training providers, the places where they actually teach, and the specific certificates, diplomas and degrees they run. For each program we record the exact award (or that there is none), who awards it, the level, delivery format, teaching language, portfolio requirements and fees as the provider publishes them. Each fact carries a source and a date.

Providers, teaching locations and programs are kept separate: a school can teach in two cities, and prices, schedules, portfolio requirements and delivery formats belong to the individual program, not to the school as a whole.

What it is not

• It is not an accreditor, a licensing body, an agency or a professional association, and is not affiliated with any. Listing a school does not imply that it leads to commissions, exhibitions, jobs or any particular career outcome.
• It is not a league table. Our editorial selections are unnumbered, state their criteria and limitations, and cannot be bought.
• It is not an application or booking service. Applications and enrolment happen on each provider’s own website.
• It does not cover every provider worldwide. Coverage is tracked by country, and gaps are shown as gaps.

How it is funded

Basic factual listings are free. The site is funded by clearly labelled sponsored placements and advertising; see the sponsorship disclosure. Sponsors cannot buy verification, recognition, reviews, editorial recommendations or a place in our selections.

Who runs it

Photography Schools Worldwide is operated by Piksel & Co Digital LLC, a company registered in Delaware, USA. Contact: info@photographyschoolsworldwide.com, or use the contact page.
