We’re excited to present our Creative and Cultural Industries Graduate Show, online for the second year running.
In this digital exhibition of award-winning talent, over 230 graduates of the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries are featured. It's one of the largest degree shows in the UK, celebrating innovative flair across a variety of disciplines.
Our congratulations go out to all of our 2021 graduates as they embark on their creative careers.
If you missed our first virtual Graduate Show last year, you can also check that out.
With the challenges of the past year, I am very proud to see the incredible work of this year’s graduates being shared as part of our digital showcase. The creativity, resilience and focus that our students have shown in producing these works is truly outstanding, and clearly demonstrates why so many of them have already secured fantastic jobs across the creative industries.
