Shows 2024: Design brings together courses from across our Design School to highlight the ways in which creative practice, thinking and research can drive strategic change, shape positive futures and produce cultural value.

Exploring areas ranging from graphic design and branding to communication and interaction design, featured work builds on aesthetic traditions and established practice while embracing the possibilities offered by change and innovation.

Student projects not only remain unafraid to confront major global challenges, but also to imagine new forms, new identities and alternative realities – embracing design as a tool of both action and agency that can radically transform our world.

Courses showing include:

• BA (Hons) Design for Art Direction
• BA (Hons) Design for Branded Spaces
• BA (Hons) Design Management
• BA (Hons) Graphic Branding and Identity
• BA (Hons) Graphic and Media Design

• BA (Hons) Illustration and Visual Media
• BA (Hons) Interaction Design Arts
• BA (Hons) User Experience Design
• Postgraduate Certificate Design for Visual Communication
• Postgraduate Diploma Design for Visual Communication

Throughout their time at the College, our students not only learn the foundations of their disciplines, but also the skills needed to transform them.

Working across Design, Media and Screen, their final projects explore the legacy of our past and visions of our future, harnessing opportunities generated by creative thinking in a rapidly evolving world.

With themes ranging from community, identity and connection to social responsibility, digital advancement and climate justice, featured work has been designed to pose critical questions, engage with vital conversations and inspire impactful change.

In a moment that captures years of transformative learning, join our graduating students as they set new futures in motion, and reflect on both their individual and collective growth.

Graduating students across all undergraduate courses will also have the opportunity to showcase their work on our innovative online platform, the UAL Showcase.

Providing an opportunity to exhibit work digitally in dynamic and accessible ways, the Showcase site enables students to connect with audiences ranging from family, friends and members of the public to prospective buyers, collaborators and employers.

Student work will launch on the UAL Showcase from 16 May.
