As academic hopefuls face more debt than ever just to brush up on the skills of their choice, Harvard university is making the art of photography more accessible – and, more importantly, cheap. You can now ace a course from the prestigious institution for absolutely nothing from the comfort of your own home/bed.

Their online digital photography modules are now available to access free of charge, provided by ALISON, an online learning community. There are 13 modules on offer that delve into a range of topics. The site claims to teach you how your digital camera works, focuses on what exposure settings to use when taking a photograph and also provides tips on editing software.

The whole thing only lasts for about 10-15 hours (the length of a Netflix series) and you get to print off a certificate at the end without the hassle of paying for an oversized cap and gown for the occasion.
