Showcase event will celebrate the work of postgraduate students

24th September 2024

Collections of work created by students from Northumbria School of Design, Arts and Creative Industries are being prepared for display as part of an exhibition of work by those studying Masters and PhD programmes.

The Foyer of the Design School building (CCE2) at the University's Newcastle City Campus will transformed with a month-long exhibition of work from around 50 postgraduate students, which will be opened with a special launch event on Thursday 26 September, between 5pm and 7pm.

The exhibition will include examples of practical work from across eleven programmes, including the MA DesignMRes Art and DesignMA Fashion Design, MA Sustainable and Ethical FashionMA Multidisciplinary Innovation, MA Digital and Immersive Arts and PhDs in Art and Design.

Staff and students are encouraged to join the celebration by attending the launch event. Refreshments will be served.

Members of the public are also welcome to view the exhibition, which will be open Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, until Friday 25 October.

It’s a wonderful way to mark the transition while outgoing and incoming students get the chance to network and share experiences.

“The quality of practical work produced across these programmes is always extremely high, from collections of garments and art work, to portfolios full of creative concepts and ideas. We're hoping to be able to showcase these achievements to as many people as possible during this exhibition.”

Visitors who have registered to attend the University’s upcoming Open Day on Saturday 28 September, will also have a chance to see the Postgraduate Showcase.
