Gallery: Photos from the 2026 Degree Show Private View

The Degree Show Private View is one of the most exciting nights in the campus calendar - and the 2026 edition was a huge success.

Friends and family of the 100+ final year students exhibiting at the show enjoyed the preview evening, with an official opening from Principal Abigail Appleton. The event was also attended by a number of civic and cultural stakeholders who toured the show before it opened to the public.

It marks a significant moment in the creative careers of all the students involved. It's an opportunity to present some outstanding final project work to a public audience, and to reflect on the three years that have got them to that point. Ahead of their graduation in the autumn - and their next steps into a wide range of career opportunities - the Private View is a milestone to celebrate with some of their biggest supporters, from friends and family to teaching staff.
