Online showcase
All graduating postgraduate 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.
Course Teams and graduating students 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.
We recommend students upload their work as early as possible to guarantee work will be live during on the platform in time for the on-site shows. Students can start uploading work to the Graduate Showcase via Portfolio from October onwards, but please keep in mind profiles won't be live on the platform until after 7 November.
