An extensive range of images from around the University is available through the Image Management System (IMS).

This is a sophisticated resource was acquired in 2005 to help departments, colleges, and units across the University access existing University-wide images, as well as providing them with the option to upload and store their own images, creating a central source for all University images.

All members of the University have access to the Image Management System through their CIS username and password.

A user guide is also available to as a brief introduction on how to using the Image Management System most effectively.

Our Communications Framework partners also have access to the Image Management System. Should you require permission for an external user to use the Image Bank or need any help with using the facility, please contact the Strategic Marketing Team (ex 46316).
