LCC Shows 2022 will feature online and physical showcases, as well as events and a graduate support programme.
The online showcase will use UAL’s Online Showcase platform.
This page provides more information for participating LCC students on how to take part in this year’s LCC Online Graduate Showcase – including how to upload to UAL’s Online Showcase platform, as well as key dates and deadlines.
Online showcase
All participating undergraduate students will be able to demonstrate different facets of their creative exploration and critical interrogation as well as final projects through exhibiting on UAL’s Online Showcase platform.
The platform has been very successful in showcasing graduating student work and engaging audiences globally with high engagement analytics and success stories.
As part of the online Showcase platform, Collections of outstanding works around different themes or groupings will be built to demonstrate the variety of work and highlight different achievements.
Course Teams and graduating cohorts will be guided through the process and supported by a Quality Assurance Team who will help to review work before it is uploaded to the platform via Portfolio.
Projects uploaded to the platform will be archived, ensuring students’ portfolios remain available online to our audiences for a period of time, including creative industry partners, potential employers and collaborators, as well as prospective students. Each individual student profile makes it easy to contact and engage with them.
