UWE Bristol graduating students present Showcase 2026
More than 1,200 graduating students from UWE Bristol will showcase their work in June as part of the university’s annual degree exhibition, Showcase 2026.
Running from June 4 to 10 across Bower Ashton, Arnolfini, Spike Island and UWE Bristol’s Frenchay campus, the event will feature work from more than 30 courses spanning architecture, animation, photography, filmmaking, engineering, fashion, design and writing.
Professor Amanda Coffey, vice-chancellor and provost at UWE Bristol, said: “Showcase presents a fantastic opportunity for fellow students, staff, families and visitors to experience the inspirational work of our graduating students.
“As the future creative workforce, driving new ideas here in the West of England and beyond, we are incredibly proud of their achievements.”
