This summer, AUB Campus will be transformed into the most extensive gallery space in the southwest of England, as we celebrate the achievements of our 2026 graduating students.
The Summer Shows provide an exciting opportunity for students to showcase their final project work to the public and demonstrate how they've developed their skills and knowledge to a professional standard during their studies at AUB.
They'll include work from our wide range of courses, showcasing the accomplishments from the following schools.
Through these shows, you'll be able to learn about our courses here at AUB, the values and ethos at the core of the university, and the fantastic work that has been created over the past year as a product of these values, in addition to the dedication, passion and creativity of our graduate students.
"Summer Show-time at AUB is one of the most energising and exciting experiences of our year. Join us throughout the summer months to be energised by the creative work of our fabulous students from all over the world, including those studying on our Foundation Diploma, our BA (Hons) programmes and postgraduate courses.
"We open our doors and welcome students and their families, alumni and industry, and thousands of visitors to share the magic and be part of the dream factory that is AUB."
– Lisa Mann, Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer, AUB
