Applications for Membership\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
\nHE Institutional Members:<\/strong> The Association welcomes new full Institutional Members from any United Kingdom Higher Education Institution, University College, or Faculty or School thereof, who share its aims and objects. Institutional members can send representatives to any of the meetings, or activities, or conferences of the Association and can elect and can take part as Honorary Officers or as members of the Executive Committee.<\/p>\n

Associate Institutional Members:<\/strong>\u00a0Over the years the Association has reached out to related bodies and organisations to join the Association as Associate Institutional Members.

Associate Institutional Members can be overseas’ universities, or faculties, or other organisations related to the fields of publishing and media education outside of the Higher Education sector, within or outside of the United Kingdom.
