As a creative university, we know our spaces for our students, graduates, staff and other creators need spaces to find creative inspiration and showcase their incredible work.
That's why you'll find galleries and exhibition spaces across our four campuses, and beyond.
Throughout the year, our galleries play host to our undergraduate and postgraduate Graduate Shows, exhibitions of work resulting from student projects, our annual technicians' showcase, displays of material from our archives, and exhibitions from visiting artists and artists-in-residence.
Discover more about our galleries, the current opportunities we have available within them, and how to stay up to date with the latest news and events.
